Objectives: Evaluate the introduction of the enucleation with Holmium laser in our center, including the surgeon's learning curve by the analysis of the patients. Materials and methods: 150 procedures have been analyzed in a retrospective manner with an average follow-up of 11 months. Qmax, IPSS and Qol have been determined before surgery, at 6 months and 12 months, realizing their statistic analysis. PSA was measured before surgery and after 3 months. Complications, surgical time and hospital stay have been analyzed. Results: Average patient age was 72, 4 years. Average prostatic size was of 71,3gr (18-150). Average hospital stay was of 22h. Qmax before surgery, 6 months, 12 months was of 7,53ml/s, 23,24ml/s and 21,62ml/s being statistically significant (p<0,01). Transfusion rate was of 1,3% and urethral stenosis rate of 4%. IPSS improvement at 6 and 12 months was statistically significant as well (p<0, 01). Conclusions: Enucleation with Holmium laser is a safe and effective technique with lower complication rate than TURP, included during the learning curve.
