Study Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of our study is to estimate the efficacy, safety and postoperative complications of the thulium fiber laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuFLEP) with Urolase system (NTO IRE-POLUS, Russia).

Detailed Description

In all patients, IPSS, Qmax, QoL, prostate volume, and IIEF-5 are measured prior to surgery.

For ThuFLEP, we use the Urolase system (NTO IRE-POLUS, Russia) and a 600 mcm fiber. The thulium fiber laser is set with a mean output power of 60 W and energy of 1.5 J. Tissue morcellation is completed with the Piranha Morcellator (Richard Wolf, Germany).

At the end of the procedure a 22 French three-way Foley catheter is placed. IPSS, Qmax, QoL, prostate volume are recorded at 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery. IIEF-5 are recorded at 3 and 6 months after surgery.
