This study compares two groups of patients who underwent BPH treatment. 24 had HoLEP (holmium laser enucleation of the prostate) and 32 had TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate). While the TURP group had a significantly shorter time in surgery, the HoLEP group had larger portions of their prostates removed. In the end, the HoLEP group’s peak flow rate and residual volume “were significantly better” than the TURP group’s.
