Abstract
Objective Prostate cancer (PCa) patients might experience lower urinary tract symptoms as those diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Some of them might be treated for their lower urinary tract symptoms instead of PCa. We aimed to test the effect of PCa versus BPH on surgical outcomes after transurethral prostate surgery, namely complication and mortality rates. Methods Within the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (2011-2016), we identified patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate, photoselective vaporization, or laser enucleation. Patients were stratified according to postoperative diagnosis (PCa vs. BPH). Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models evaluated the predictors of perioperative morbidity and mortality. A formal test of interaction between diagnosis and surgical technique used was performed. Results Overall, 34 542 patients were included. Of all, 2008 (5.8%) had a diagnosis of PCa. The multivariable logistic regression model failed to show statistically significant higher rates of postoperative complications in PCa patients (odds ratio: 0.9, 95% confidence interval: 0.7-1.1; p=0.252). Moreover, similar rates of perioperative mortality (p=0.255), major acute cardiovascular events (p=0.581), transfusions (p=0.933), and length of stay of more than or equal to 30 days (p=0.174) were found. Additionally, all tests failed to show an interaction between post-operative diagnosis and surgical technique used. Conclusion Patients diagnosed with PCa do not experience higher perioperative morbidity or mortality after transurethral prostate surgery when compared to their BPH counterparts. Moreover, the diagnosis seems to not influence surgical technique outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE We sought to characterize the adjusted outcomes of GreenLight photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) in high-medical-risk (HMR) patients using data from the largest international database. METHODS Data were obtained from the Global GreenLight Group (GGG) database which pools data of eight high-volume, experienced surgeons, from a total of seven international centers. Eligible study participants underwent GreenLight PVP using the XPS-180 W system between 2011 and 2019. HMR patients were defined as patients with ASA III or greater and were compared to non-HMR patients. Analyses were adjusted for patient age and prostate volume. RESULTS In the HMR group, patients on average were older and had smaller prostates than the non-HMR control group. Compared to non-HMR patients, transfusions occurred more frequently (2.6% vs. 0.14%, p < 0.01) and the odds of readmission were elevated [OR 2.0, (95% CI 1.4-2.8, p < 0.01)] among HMR patients. Twelve months postoperatively, HMR patients experience greater improvement in QoL than the control group [+ 0.54 (95% CI 0.07-1.0, p = 0.02)]. PVR also decreased 93.1 ml more in HMR than in non-HMR patients after 12 months (95% CI 33.6-152.6, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION We found that GreenLight PVP is safe and effective in improving functional outcomes in higher-risk patients with severe systemic disease compared to their lower-risk counterparts. Though absolute risks remain low, GreenLight PVP is associated with higher odds of transfusion and readmission in the high-risk cohort. The findings of our study reaffirm current guidelines that propose PVP as a viable treatment option for HMR patients.

Abstract
Objective To assess the impact of irrigating fluid on hemodynamic profiles using
real-time non-invasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM) in elderly patients
undergoing monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Methods Twenty patients between 65 and 80 years of age who were scheduled for
monopolar TURP and received spinal anesthesia up to T10 were enrolled.
Irrigating fluid (2.7% sorbitol with 0.5% mannitol solution) was used.
Hemodynamic profiles including cardiac index, and stroke volume variation
(SVV) using NICOM were obtained. Estimated irrigating fluid absorption was
indirectly calculated. Results The median amount of irrigating fluid used was 6000 mL. The median SVV was
11%, which increased to 12% at 10 minutes after initiating surgery. No
significant changes in the cardiac index were observed. The estimated
absorption of irrigating fluid was almost zero. Conclusions Although the estimated amount of irrigating fluid that was absorbed was
negligible, the increase in SVV may indicate intravascular volume depletion
with diuresis resulting from mannitol in the irrigating fluid early during
irrigation. Therefore, even during short irrigating times, intensive
hemodynamic monitoring should be performed to monitor the possibility of
intravascular volume depletion as well as volume overload, especially
immediately after large amounts of irrigating fluid are used.

Functional outcomes and safety of GreenLight photovaporization of the prostate in the high-risk patient with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic enlargement. Neurourol Urodyn 2019; 39:303-309.

Abstract
AIMS Photovaporization of the prostate (PVP) with GreenLight Laser is a surgical treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms. It is considered safe in elderly patients with comorbidities, however, the evidence is inconclusive. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety outcomes of PVP according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASAPS). METHODS A cohort of 675 patients who underwent PVP between 2012 and 2018 was evaluated. Patients were classified according to their ASAPS as low (I and II) and high risk (III and IV). Surgical characteristics and improvement of symptoms and Quality of Life (QoL) were evaluated. RESULTS The median age of high-risk group was higher than low-risk group. The high-risk group had more history of anticoagulation, antiaggregation, urinary catheterization, urinary retention and urethral stricture. Longer times of hospitalization (23.7 [interquartile range {IQR} = 18.9-41.35] vs 21.8 hours [IQR = 18.7-26.6], P = .008) and catheterization (19.55 [IQR = 15.6-35.57] vs 17.67 hours [IQR = 14.76-22.5], P = .004) were found in the high-risk group. Conversion and bleeding control were not different between groups. In the follow-up, improvement of International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) and QoL was significant in all patients when compared before and after surgery scores (P < .001). There were no difference between groups for QoL, however, IPSS was lower for the low-risk group (8 [IQR = 4-14.5] vs 5 [2-12], P = .001). CONCLUSION PVP with GreenLight Laser is a safe and efficient procedure for all patients despite their comorbidities, with comparable middle-term outcomes which makes it a standard treatment for the entire aging population, improving their QoL.

En bloc greenlight laser enucleation of prostate (GreenLEP): about the first hundred cases. World J Urol 2019; 38:1545-1553. [PMID: 31489477 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-019-02941-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2019] [Accepted: 08/29/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To report the functional outcomes, perioperative morbidity and surgical learning curve key points using "en bloc" greenlight enucleation of prostate (EB-GreenLEP) for patients with refractory lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS Between December, 2015 and May, 2018, all consecutive patients with refractory LUTS due to BPH in our institution were included and underwent EB-GreenLEP by a single surgeon. Perioperative data, complications and functional outcomes at 1-, 6- and 12-month follow-ups were collected and retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS One hundred patients were included whose median age was 69 years. The median prostate volume (PV) was 84 mL and median enucleated PV was 45.5 mL. Mean irrigation, catheterization and hospitalization times were 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6 days, respectively. Average follow-up was 9.3 months. A single high-grade Clavien-Dindo complication occurred. No urinary retention was reported. Two conversions to conventional resection of the prostate were noted. Three patients had postoperative urinary incontinence at 6 months, only one at 1 year (1%). At 1, 6 and 12 months, there was a significant improvement in IPSS score, QoL and Qmax. Enucleation and energy efficiency ratios were shorter after the 30th procedure. We demonstrated a linear correlation between enucleation time and PV (r = 0.53, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Our study shows that the mid-term functional results of EB-GreenLEP are comparable to other laser sources for the endoscopic enucleation of the prostate but with a shorter learning curve. We showed that, with (a) low rates of complications and a short hospital stay, EB-GreenLEP can manage medium-size glands (60-90 mL).
