Popis: Objective To determine if preoperative catheter dependence or specimen weight is associated with failed trial without catheter (TWOC) following holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). Material and Methods The study population consisted of 143 consecutive men who underwent HoLEP by a single surgeon over 10 months. Ten were excluded from analysis because they did not have a TWOC on the morning following surgery. Preoperative catheter dependence and specimen weight as well as catheter reinsertions were analyzed. Results Of 133 men included in analysis, 23 (17.3%) required catheter reinsertion. Of the 23 requiring catheter reinsertion, 6 were catheter dependent preoperatively and 17 were not. Men who were catheter dependent had a lower overall rate of failed TWOC compared to those who were not catheter dependent (15.0% vs 18.3%, P = .647). Mean specimen weight for men requiring catheter reinsertion was significantly lower than men who passed their TWOC (49.9 gm vs 73.1 gm, P = .013). Conclusion Very few studies exist on factors associated with short-term catheter reinsertion following HoLEP or other prostatic hyperplasia procedures. We hypothesized that preoperative catheter dependence and small specimen weight would predispose to catheter reinsertion. Specimen weight was inversely related to risk of catheter reinsertion after HoLEP and preoperative catheter dependence was not associated with catheter reinsertion. In men with small prostates, consideration should be given to delayed TWOC to allow resolution of capsular edema and accumulation of clot in the prostatic fossa. Transition zone volume below which delayed TWOC should be considered is the subject of future studies.
