Key Recommendations

  • Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a safe procedure with a satisfactory low complication rate 1.
  • The most common reported perioperative complications of HoLEP are not severe (Clavien-Dindo classification grades 1-2) 1.
  • Further randomized studies are warranted to fully determine predictors of surgical complications in HoLEP 1.
