Comparative Study Between Safety and Effectiveness of High Versus Low Power HOLEP
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Holmium laser enucleation (HOLEP) has became a standard of treatment of large prostates that indicates surgery. HOLEP is widely used nowadays. Many settings are used but no optimal setting was world wide adopted. The aim of this trial is to assess the Low-power Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (LP-HoLEP)and compare to high-power (HP-HoLEP) for enucleation efficiency pertaining to the advantages of lower cost and minimal postoperative dysuria, storage symptoms, and negative sexual impact.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Enucleation Efficiency [3 hours]
Enucleated weight/min will be evaluated.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Dysuria will be assessed by dysuria visual analog scale [2 weeks]
burning micturation after the procedure. Dysuria will be assessed by dysuria visual analog scale
- The complications of both techniques [3 months]
The complications will be classified according to the modified Clavien classification system.
