Brief summary

The objective of our multi-center randomized single-blind study is to examine the safety and effect of intra-detrusor OnabotulinumtoxinA injections at the time of holium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in men with overactive bladder symptoms with and without urge incontinence.

Detailed description

Patients with significant preoperative urgency and/or urge urinary incontinence (UUI) along with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) may require post-HoLEP anticholinergic, B-3 agonist, or intravesical OnabotulinumtoxinA administration. This injection is a guideline recommended for treatment in patients with severe irritative LUTS (urgency, UUI) and overactive bladder.
