    Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a minimally invasive alternative to TURP for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

  • 2

    High-power (HP) HoLEP offers rapid enucleation but is costly, while low-power (LP) HoLEP is more cost-effective and versatile for various urological procedures.

  • 3

    Existing studies on LP versus HP HoLEP are mostly retrospective, lacking robust prospective comparative studies or randomized controlled trials.

  • 4

    This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy of LP and HP HoLEP in BPH patients, focusing on postoperative recovery and complication rates.

  • 5

    Primary outcomes include the International Prostate Symptom Score and enucleation efficiency, assessed three months post-surgery.
