The main advantages reported by randomized clinical studies are reduced perioperative bleeding, catheterization time, and length of hospitalization. HoLEP is mostly performed as a one-night stay; however, several studies have reported that HoLEP can be performed as a day-case procedure. We aimed at evaluating the feasibility and safety of day-case HoLEP in a large cohort of patients. METHODS: Clinical data for HoLEP procedures were prospectively collected on a dedicated database. We retrospectively analysed perioperative data of consecutive day-case procedures performed at our institution between January 2013 and April 2022 by only one experimented surgeon (n=396).Day-case success was defined as successful discharge within 12 hours of admission without any readmission within 48 hours. The protocol for day-case treatment included systematic bladder catheter insertion with continuous irrigation for approximately 2 hours and catheter removal on postoperative day 1. Uni- and multivariate analysis were performed to identify predictive factors of failure. RESULTS: In total, 89% of patients (n=354) were successfully discharged within 12 hours and 83% (n=328) were not readmitted within 48 hours. The main reason for discharge failure was hematuria requiring continuous bladder irrigation. In univariate analysis, age (p=0.04), PSA (p=0.03), prostate volume (p=0.003), operating time (p=0.001), resected tissue weight (p=0.001), and indwelling catheter (p=0.007) were associated with discharge failure. In multivariate analysis, prostate volume over 90mL (p=0.05) was the only risk factor associated with discharge failure. CONCLUSIONS: Day-case HoLEP is a reliable and safe procedure, with a high success rate. In our experience, the most important factor leading to failure to discharge patient within 12 hours of surgery was prostate volume. The success rate was 82% in patients with prostate volume > 90mL.
