Background and objective: To evaluate the incidence and the risk
factors of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) during the first year following
Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP).
Materials and methods: Our monocentric and retrospective study includes
155 patients who underwent HoLEP for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Surgeries were
performed by 2 expert surgeons. The continence was evaluated before and after
surgery at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. The predictive factors of SUI were analysed
using logistic regression.
Results: The SUI rate at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months was respectively 7.3%,
8.1%, 3.4% and 2.7%. SUI remained present in 4 patients (2.6%) at 12 months.
The mean International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire Urinary
Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-SF) score for patients with SUI was respectively
11.69
