Outcomes after laser enucleation of the prostate with and without significant storage symptoms

Storage-positive patients appear to experience similar long-term benefits from LEP compared to storage-negative patients. However, significant storage symptoms are associated with higher total IPSS and less favourable QoL at 1 and 3 months after LEP. These findings advocate for the consideration of LEP also in storage-positive cases with the need for thorough patient education especially in the initial post-LEP period.
