Totally-en-bloc = enucleation of the prostatic adenoma in one single piece, with no vertical incisions of the prostatic urethra - No touch = our way of delivering energy during the surgery, not too far (no effect), not in contact (incisional mode), but 2-3 mm far from the tissue, in order to use the plasma/vapor bubble generated at the tip of the laser fiber to dissolve the connecting fibers between the adenoma and the capsular plane - Low-power = over the years we gradually reduced the power of the holmium laser during this procedure, from 100W to less than 40 W, reducing the frequency (18-20 Hz) and setting the energy to 2-2.2 J (long-pulse setting), with better vision and reduced postoperative dysuria - HoLEP = Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate
