Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a prospectively maintained database containing the first 149 consecutive HoLEP cases between June 2022 and December 2023. The study recorded several patient characteristics, and preoperative data such as IPSS score, total gland volume, preoperative catheterization, Qmax, and PVR volume were collected. During the operation, data on total operating time, enucleation time, morcellation time, and weight of enucleated tissue were recorded. Finally, postoperative data were also documented. TUI refers to a patient\u2019s complaint of urine leakage, irrespective of type. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine factors that predict TUI. Results: The study included 119 patients with BPH. Nineteen (15.96%) of them experienced postoperative TUI. Of those 19 patients, 15 (78.94%) recovered within three months from the date of the surgery. In the multivariate regression analysis, increased age (odds ratio [OR], 3.47; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.56~7.78; p = 0.002), prostate volume \u2265 100 mL (OR 1.86; 95% CI 1.54\u20132.13; p = 0.001), preoperative PVR volume \u2265 250 mL (OR 1.22; 95% CI 1.10\u20131.32; p = 0.02), preoperative catheterization (OR, 0.56; 95% CI 0.34\u20130.78; p = 0.003), increased operation time (OR, 3.87; 95% CI 1.62\u20134.19; p = 0.002), and resected tissue weight \u2265 40 g (OR, 1.032; 95% CI, 1.015\u20131.048; p = 0.002) were found to be independent predictors of TUI. Conclusions: The incidence of TUI following HoLEP was found to be 15.96% in patients, with a recovery rate of 78.94% within three months post-surgery. Predictive factors for TUI included age at surgery, prostatic volume, preoperative catheterization, high PVR, longer operative time, and resected tissue weight.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina60091460","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,6]],"date-time":"2024-09-06T05:02:28Z","timestamp":1725598948000},"page":"1460","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Predictive Factors of Transient Urinary Incontinence Following Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP): Single-Center Experience"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7790-388X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roxana Andra","family":"Coman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, \u201cIuliu Hatieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Urology, Medicover Hospital, 407062 Suceagu, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Bschleipfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Urology and Paediatric Urology, Regiomed Clinics Coburg, Ketschendorfer Stra\u00dfe 33, 96450 Coburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadim","family":"Al Hajjar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, \u201cIuliu Hatieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"},{"name":"\u201cOctavian Fodor\u201d Regional Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 400394 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8608-4334","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bogdan","family":"Petrut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, \u201cIuliu Hatieganu\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania"},{"name":"Department of Urology, Medicover Hospital, 407062 Suceagu, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Cornu, J.N., Gacci, M., Hashim, H., Herrmann, T.R.W., Malde, S., Netsch, C., De Nunzio, C., Rieken, M., Sakalis, V., and Tutolo, M.
