Abstract
OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the complications and the risk factors of Holmium LASER Enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and to propose selection criteria for day-case surgery.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
We included retrospectively all consecutive single-center HoLEP procedures performed between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2016. We reported the pre-operative characteristics of the patients (age, BMI, ASA score, estimated prostate volume, presence of a preoperative catheter, operative indication, antiplatelet or anticoagulant intake) and the peri operative data (duration of intervention, catheterization, hospitalization, transfusion, histopathological findings, 30-day postoperative complications given to Clavien-Dindo classification, presence of a catheter at discharge, urologist experience). Uni- and multi-variate analyzes were performed to investigate risk factors for complications.
RESULTS
One thousand two hundred and one patients were included. The overall complication rate was 19.15 %. The transfusion rate was 3.7%. We demonstrated that the age at procedure (P=0.019), an ASA score>2 (P=0.0019), a high prostatic volume (P=0.011), an anticoagulant intake (P=<0.0001), a poor-urologist experience (P=0.048) and a long operative time (P=0.0144) were at risks of complications.
CONCLUSION
The identification of postoperative complication risk factors after HoLEP could help to better select patients who are offered day-case surgery and minimize the risk of failure or early readmission.
