    Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) affects aging men and can lead to significant lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

  • 2

    Endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) is now considered a standard procedure for BPH treatment, regardless of prostate volume.

  • 3

    The pulsed solid-state Thulium: YAG laser offers advantages over Holmium: YAG lasers, including lower tissue damage and more efficient ablation.

  • 4

    This study compared perioperative outcomes of EEP using pulsed Tm: YAG laser versus standard Ho: YAG laser in patients with BPH.

  • 5

    Statistical analyses were conducted using multivariable regression to adjust outcomes based on key covariates like age and prostate volume.
