Abstract
First described in 1998, the advantages offered by holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) have become increasingly accepted. HoLEP results in an anatomically complete removal of the adenoma from the surgical capsule and is the endoscopic equivalent to open prostatectomy (OP). The complete removal of adenomatous tissue results in an average postoperative decrease in PSA and prostate volume in the range of 70-90 % of the preoperative value in comparison to the 30-45 % decrease seen with ablation techniques.
