To evaluate the impact of prostate size on functional outcomes and perioperative morbidity, we analyzed patients undergoing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). As LUTS secondary to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) are a chronic progressive disease, prevalence and prostate size increase with age. HoLEP is a size‐independent method for surgical treatment of LUTS/BPO and can be offered in medication‐refractory patients with durable long‐term results and reduced perioperative morbidity.
