En bloc HoLEP with vesical mucosal release: a technical refinement for safety and operative efficiency.
Article in World journal of urology, 2026. 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
objectivesTo describe a vesical mucosal release modification of the en bloc holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) technique and report its perioperative outcomes, and to compare the operative efficiency of this modification when performed with high-power (100 W) versus low-power (50 W) holmium laser.
methodsThis is a retrospective study of 194 consecutive patients who underwent en bloc HoLEP with vesical mucosal release between January 2024 and October 2025 for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Laser assignment was guided by operating room logistics and prostate volume feasibility, with the 50 W system limited to glands < 120 mL. Perioperative outcomes were compared between laser groups. Multivariable regression was used to assess the independent association between laser power and enucleation time, adjusting for tissue workload.
resultsMedian prostate volume was 80.0 mL (IQR 60.0–101.5) and median enucleated tissue weight was 37.0 g (IQR 20.7–60.9). Median total operative time was 83.0 min (IQR 59.0–109.8). Vesical mucosal release was successfully performed in all patients. Overall complications occurred in 3 patients (1.5%). Ureteric orifice injury occurred in 1 patient (0.5%). Transient stress urinary incontinence at 1 month was observed in 4 patients (2.0%), with no cases at 3 months. After adjustment for tissue workload, laser power was not independently associated with enucleation time (p = 0.059), though this borderline result warrants cautious interpretation given the non-randomised design.
conclusionsThe vesical mucosal release modification of en bloc HoLEP demonstrated a favourable safety profile with low complication rates and preserved early continence across different laser power settings. Prospective comparative studies are needed to establish the relative benefit of this technical modification.
