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 |
