详细描述
The objective of this study is to evaluate how sexual function, ejaculatory function, and overall sexual satisfaction change following Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP).
Retrograde ejaculation is a common and expected consequence of the procedure and meaningfully influences surgical decision-making. Through the study team's findings, the study team aims to characterize the longitudinal impact of HoLEP and if it induces patient regret.
In doing so, the study team will examine the trade-off between relief of lower urinary tract symptoms and changes in sexual function. This study seeks to generate patient-centered data to inform shared decision-making for men considering HoLEP.
