HoLRP is a technique which produces a defect in the prostatic fossa analogous to TURP but does so with significantly less blood loss. The perioperative outcome was assessed in a randomized clinical trial. The patients in the HoLRP arm (61 patients) had a longer resection time when compared to the TURP group (59 patients) but had less nursing contact time, shorter catheter time and a shorter hospital stay. Four patients in the TURP arm (6.8%) required blood transfusion compared to none in the HoLRP arm. Postoperative dysuria was similar in the two groups. Overall, the perioperative morbidity of HoLRP is less than that of TURP.
