Abstract
tissue with incorporated stent pieces and stent particles were removed mechanically with grasping forceps and remaining prostate adenoma was morcellated. The detail surgical technique is shown in the video. Literature review was performed focusing on articles on removal of permanent prostatic stent. RESULTS: At 10 month of follow-up, patients had symptomatically improved with American urological association symptom score of 3, maximum uroflow rate of 21.7 ml/sec and post void residual urine of 31 ml. In the literature, we could identify only two case reports employing low power holmium laser for fragmenting prostatic stent. CONCLUSIONS: High power holmium laser can be successfully used to remove a permanent metallic stent in prostate during holmium laser enucleation of prostate.
