  1. The estimated prostate volume was calculated as the volume of the entire gland using the prolate elliptical formula (height × width × length × π/6). Overall, 10.4% of patients returned as outpatients and had uroflow data at more than 1 year postoperatively. IPSS, international prostate symptom score; PVR, postvoid residual volume; URF, urinary flow rate; ThuLEP, thulium laser enucleation of the prostate; TURP, transurethral resection of prostate
