Résumé

INTRODUCTION: Storage urinary symptoms and urinary tract infection (UTI) are among the most common complications following holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). We aimed to study the incidence and risk factors for storage urinary symptoms and early UTI following HoLEP.

METHODS: A prospectively maintained database was reviewed for patients who underwent HoLEP over a five-year period at a single tertiary center. Patient demographics, preoperative, operative, and postoperative characteristics, as well as infection rates, were obtained and analyzed using the appropriate statistical methods.

RESULTS: Of a total 514 patients who underwent HoLEP, 473 patients with complete followup data were included. Mean (± standard deviation) age and median (interquartile range) prostate volume were 72±9.1 years and 89 (68–126) g, respectively. Preoperative positive urine culture and urine retention were seen in 28.5% (n=135) and 23.46 % (n=111) of patients, respectively. At six-week followup, irritative urinary symptoms were seen in 32.3% (n=153) of patients, while 13.5% (n= 64) of patients had positive urine culture. Bivariate and multivariate analysis showed that factors associated with significant higher rate of postoperative UTI at six weeks were high body mass index (BMI) (p= 0.023), weak grip strength within preoperative frailty assessment (p=0.042), positive preoperative urine culture (p=0.025), and postoperative incontinence (p=0.002).

CONCLUSIONS: Storage urinary symptoms are common complaints post-HoLEP; however, it may be caused by an inflammatory rather than infective process in a significant percentage of patients. Possible predictors of UTI after HoLEP are high BMI, preoperative positive urine culture, higher frailty scale, and postoperative urinary incontinence.
