Abstract
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. It improved patient prostate specific antigen, American Urological Association symptom score and maximum urinary flow rate independent of the amount of benign prostatic hyperplasia present. Our results demonstrate the advantage of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate to treat all prostates regardless of size with favorable and equivalent outcomes.
