Outcomes of HoLEP and other concomitant surgeries

Study HoLEP + CS HoLEP only Concomitant surgical procedures Outcomes
Patel et al46 38 334 • Simple: stent removal (1), stent placement (1), meatotomy (3), umbilical hernia repair (3), URS (1), spermatocelectomy (1), hydrocelectomy (1), inguinal hernia repair (1), removal of prostatic urethral stent (1)
• Intermediate: cystolitholapaxy (16), open cystolithotomy (1), TURBT (3), circumcision/TURBT (1)
• Complex: bladder diverticulectomy/left distal ureterectomy/reimplant (1), bladder diverticulectomy/urachal mass (1), robotic bladder diverticulectomy (2)
• No difference compared to simple or intermediate procedures
• If complex procedure, significantly longer OR time (221 vs 65 minutes, P=0.007), higher EBL (92 vs 33 mL, P=0.012), longer catheter time (8.5 vs 1 d, P =0.041), and longer LOS (2 vs 1 d, P=0.032)
• No complications except an MI in the intermediate group
• Significant improvement in Qmax, PVR, and symptom score
Shah et al47 3 n/a • Laparoscopic extraperitoneal diverticulectomy (3) • No major complications
• No blood transfusions
• Improvement in Qmax, PVR, symptom scores for all
Kim et al48 11 n/a • URS (8)
• PCNL (2)
• URS and PCNL (1)
• No short- or long-term complications
• No transfusions
• All with FU imaging stone free
• Improvement in Qmax, PVR, and symptom scores postop
