Patients' experiences and needs of undergoing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate in the surgical process: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the real experience and specific needs of patients undergoing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, to provide appropriate nursing strategies for reference in the perioperative management of patients undergoing this type of surgery. The descriptive phenomenological research method in qualitative research was selected for this study. Purposive sampling method was used to select 10 patients who underwent holmium laser enucleation of the prostate in a tertiary hospital in Shanghai from May to June 2023 for semi-structured interviews, and the results of the interviews were compiled and analyzed using the Colaizzi seven-step analysis method. The surgical process experience and needs of patients undergoing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate were summarized and organized into three major themes and eight minor themes: (i) overall perception of the preoperative surgical process (unexpected admission experience, uncertain preoperative waiting time, and inadequate preoperative informational support), (ii) complex intraoperative sensory experience (unfamiliar surgical staff, cold surgical environment, and noisy surgical sounds), and (iii) postoperative continuity of care needs (diverse forms of health education, personalized health education content). These findings recommend to strengthen preoperative education to enhance patients' cognitive preparedness, to improve intraoperative care by addressing complex environmental stimuli through humanistic nursing, and to provide diverse health education that supports continuity of care throughout the perioperative process. This will further improve the hospitalization experience of patients undergoing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, meet practical needs, and provide a valuable reference for perioperative comfort management and nursing strategy development for this group of patients undergoing HoLEP.
