International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) was assessed 3 months after BNI. Failure after treatment was defined as IPSS between 8 and 35 points (pts). Logistic regression analyses tested association between BNI failure and predicting factors such as Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), time from BPE surgery to onset of BNS symptoms (&lt;\u20096 vs. \u2265\u20096 months), prostate volume and BPE surgery technique (holmium [ho]\u00a0laser\u00a0enucleation of the prostate [HoLEP] vs. transurethral resection of the prostate [TURP]).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, 110 patients underwent BNI.
