Post Prostatectomy Incontinence Clinical Trial
Official title:
Veil-preserving Versus Standard Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate: Randomized Clinical Trial
Postoperative transient stress urine leakage following Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate is one of the problems that frustrate both surgeon and patients Standard HoLEP might be associated with some stretch of the sphincter and de-epithelization of the sphincter area anteriorly. In Veil preserving HoLEP, early separation of the adenoma from the sphincter ring minimizes sphincter stretch. Furthermore, more proximal incision of the 12 O'clock mucosal strip sparring a veil of mucosa covering the sphincter ring. Our hypothesis is that by this technique the early postoperative transient urine leak would be minimized and duration of leakage if anny would be shortened.
Postoperative transient stress urine leakage following Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate is one of the problems that frustrate both surgeon and patients. Many reports addressed different variables for the cause of post HoLEP urine leakage. Looking for a procedure done by a single surgeon who had tremendous experience of this procedure may enable investigators to identify precisely technical points of interest that may affect post HoLEP stress urine incontinence. Standard HoLEP might be associated with some stretch of the sphincter and de-epithelization of the sphincter area anteriorly. In Veil preserving HoLEP, early separation of the adenoma from the sphincter ring minimizes sphincter stretch. Furthermore, more proximal incision of the 12 O'clock mucosal strip sparring a veil of mucosa covering the sphincter ring. Investigators' hypothesis is that by this technique the early postoperative transient urine leak would be minimized and duration of leakage if any would be shortened. ;
