Safety and outcomes of salvage HoLEP after TURP: a comparative study.
Article in The Canadian 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
backgroundRecurrent prostate surgery may pose additional challenges for achieving an efficient and anatomically precise enucleation. This research investigates how prior transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) affects the perioperative course, functional outcomes, and technical difficulty of Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) when performed as a primary procedure versus as a salvage treatment.
methodsIn this retrospective study, 174 patients who underwent HoLEP between August 2023 and April 2025 were analyzed. Group 1 included 137 patients undergoing primary HoLEP, and group 2 included 37 patients undergoing HoLEP for TURP recurrence. Outcomes assessed included enucleation weight, enucleation and morcellation time and efficiency, blood transfusion, catheter removal, and three-month postoperative International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QoL), incontinence, and urethral stricture rates.
resultsMean age was comparable between groups (group 1: 67.84 ± 8.67 vs. group 2: 67.24 ± 8.66 years; p = 0.840). Preoperative prostate volume and enucleation weight were higher in group 2 (81.24 vs. 67.34 mL, p = 0.012; enucleation weight, p = 0.037), while enucleation and morcellation times and efficiencies were similar. At three months, IPSS (8.31 vs. 7.19), QoL (1.56 vs. 1.58), incontinence, and urethral stricture rates did not differ significantly.
conclusionWith meticulous surgical planning, HoLEP represents a safe and effective salvage procedure following TURP, maintaining functional outcomes comparable to primary intervention.
