Thulium fibre laser endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (THUFLEP) learning curve assessment: A retrospective analysis of the experience of a single surgeon
In our experience, we observed a learning curve of 40-60 cases for THUFLEP. This plateau was reached after a relatively long learning curve; a more structured and supervised training programme may help improve these learning curves. Lastly, the complication rate was low from the beginning of the surgical experience, and the pentafecta was achieved in more than half of the patients.
