AIM: To compare holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and endovideosurgical (EVS) adenomectomy in the treatment of prostate adenoma.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We compared treatment results of 180 patients with prostate adenomas greater than 100 cm3 who underwent EVS adenomectomy (n=90) and laser enucleation of the prostate (n=90). The analysis included the following parameters: duration of catheterization, length of postoperative hospital stay, I-PSS score, maximum urinary flow rate measured by uroflowmetry and complications according to Clavien-Dindo grading systems.

RESULTS: There were no significant differences in patient age, preoperative prostate size, glandular tissue weight, and operative time. The duration of catheterization (p=0.0008) and length of postoperative hospital stay (p<0.0001) were significantly shorter in the HoLEP group. Both groups showed a statistically significant improvement in functional performance at three months post-surgery. Complications in the HoLEP and EVS adenomectomy group occurred in 18 (20%) and 23 (25.55%) patients, respectively (p>0.99).

CONCLUSION: The two methods mentioned above are widely used in the treatment of prostate adenoma. However, holmium laser enucleation of the prostate shows similar short-term functional results and complication rates compared with EVS adenomectomy for prostate adenomas greater than 100 cm3. The patients of the HoLEP group had better results regarding the duration of catheterization and length of postoperative hospital stay. Therefore, laser enucleation is the preferred surgical modality for prostate adenomas greater than 100 cm3.
