re-catheterizations than RASP (p[0.0294). Three-month PSA was similar in both arms. There was a significant difference in voiding symptoms at 3 months with IPSS [ 2 in the HoLEP arm and IPSS [ 7 (p <0.001) in the RASP arm, mainly irritative LUTS.CONCLUSIONS: Both HoLEP and RASP are feasible and safe procedures for prostatomegaly >100 cc. HoLEP is associated with significantly lesser duration of surgery, post-operative indwelling catheter and hospital stay.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
