• Holmium enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a gold-standard, size-independent surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) distinguished for its efficacy in tissue removal, shorter catheterization durations, lower transfusion rates, and decreased hospital stays when compared to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The objective of this article is to demonstrate the step-by-step procedure of holmium laser cystolitholapaxy and enucleation of the prostate for BPH, emphasizing a top-down modified two-lobe technique with early apical release which enhances visualization and irrigation flow during the enucleation process.
