Abstract

Background   and   aims: To evaluate the early outcomes of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia at Phu Tho Provincial General Hospital. Methods: A case series study was conducted on 40 patients who underwent HoLEP at Phu Tho Provincial General Hospital from January 2024 to June 2025. Collected variables included age, preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, prostate volume measured by ultrasound, operative time, intraoperative complications, duration of urethral catheterization, length of hospital stay, and clinical outcomes one month after surgery. Results: The mean age was 73.75 ± 7.97 years. The mean preoperative prostate volume was 91.27 ± 28.12 ml, and the mean PSA level was 13.14 ± 11.7 ng/ml. The mean operative time was 128.85 ± 48.14 minutes. Blood transfusion was required in 10 patients (25%). The mean duration of urethral catheterization was 4 days, and the mean hospital stay was 5.83 days. After one month, 36 patients (90%) had normal voiding. The mean postoperative prostate volume decreased to 28.5 ± 7.5 ml. Conclusion: HoLEP is a safe and effective surgical technique for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, providing significant improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms with a low complication rate. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to evaluate long-term outcomes.
