    Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a minimally invasive procedure that has gained popularity due to its efficacy and safety.

  • 2

    HoLEP is considered the gold standard in various medical centers, offering superior surgical outcomes and lower complication rates compared to TURP and open prostatectomy.

  • 3

    The study aimed to assess heat generation during HoLEP using ex vivo models to better understand temperature dynamics during the procedure.

  • 4

    Two experimental setups were designed: one using narrow-neck bottles to simulate enucleation cavities and another using a prostate resection training model.

  • 5

    Temperature measurements were taken at various irrigation flow rates and laser settings to evaluate the thermal effects on prostate tissue during HoLEP.
