Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research was to evaluate the efficiency of reciprocating morcellation for removing giant benign prostatic hyperplasia during holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, investigate whether performing morcellation as a two-stage procedure improves tissue retrieval efficiency, and seek to determine the optimal interval between the two surgeries.
