Abstract:
Objective:To explore the treatment experience of holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) with preservation of longitudinal urethral mucosa at 12 o’clock for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with small-medium gland.Method:From October 2018 to April 2021, 256 patients diagnosed BPH with small-medium gland(prostate volume 30-60 ml)were retrospectively analyzed, including general information, way of operation, intraoperative parameters and follow-up data. From October 2018 to June 2020, 186 BPH patients underwent conventional HoLEP, which did not retain longitudinal urethral mucosa at 12 o’clock as a conventional operation group. From July 2020 to April 2021, 70 BPH patients underwent modified HoLEP, which retained longitudinal urethral mucosa at 12 o’clock as a modified operation group. There was no significant difference between the two groups( P>0.05) in term of the age[(70.5±4.4)years old vs.(68.5±3.2)years old], Q max[(7.5±2.8)ml/s vs.(7.5±2.1)ml/s], IPSS[(20.3±4.6)vs.(21.4±3.7)], QOL[(4.5±1.0)vs.(4.2±1.4)], postvoid residual volume[(126.9±29.36)ml vs.(132.2±32.3)ml], PSA[(1.5±1.3)ng/ml vs.(1.8±1.1)ng/ml] and prostate volume[(48.1±11.1)ml vs.(48.0±12.7)ml]. Both groups were treated with "trefoil" enucleation of prostate. The modified group was improved compared with the conventional group by retaining a 12 o’clock longitudinal urethra mucosa from the bladder neck to the apex of the prostate. The technical improvements were as follows: ①the left lobe of prostate was removed from at 5 o’clock at the verumontanum to 1 o’clock at the prostate apex along the gap between the hyperplasia gland and the surgical envelope; ②the right lobe was removed from 7 o’clock at the verumontanum to 11 o’clock at the apex; ③the urethra mucous membrane was cut vertically from 1 and 11 o’clock at the bladder neck to 1 and 11 o’clock at the apex respectively, and retaining the longitudinal mucous membrane between 11 and 1 o’clock (including 12 o’clock). Efficacy and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. Results:The difference between the conventional group and the modified group in operation time[(36.5±10.4)min vs.(40.7±9.7)min], enucleated glandular weight[(35.5±12.2)g vs.(31.6±10.4)g], hemoglobin decline[(6.1±2.2)g/L vs.(5.6±2.5) g/L], postoperative hospitalization time [(1.2±0.2)d vs.(1.5±0.4)d]and catheter indwelling duration[(2.3±1.3)d vs.(2.0±1.0)d] were not statistically significant ( P>0.05). There were 252 patients for follow-up, including 183 cases in the conventional group and 69 cases in the modified group, and 4 cases were lost to follow-up. Mean time of follow-up was 8.4 months. In both groups, postoperative IPSS were 5.4±2.3 and 5.9±1.2 respectively, QOL1.5±0.3 and 2.0±1.0 respectively, Q max(24.3±9.2)ml/s and (22.5±11.3)ml/s respectively and postvoid residual volume (8.3±4.5)ml and (7.7±2.9)ml respectively, which were significantly different from that before the operation ( P<0.05). However, there was not significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). The postoperative immediate urinary continence rate of the conventional group and modified group were 85.2% (156/183), 98.6% (68/69), respectively, and two groups had statistical differences ( P<0.05). Incidence of postoperative bladder neck contraction were 4.4% (8/183) and 0 respectively in the conventional and modified group, whose difference was significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:HoLEP with preservation of longitudinal urethral mucosa at 12 o'clock is the same effective as conventional operation in the treatment of BPH with small-medium gland, likewise it could significantly improve immediate urinary continence rate and reduce the incidence of bladder neck contraction.
