It was reported to boston scientific via an article published in the world journal of urology that a prospective study was conducted in order to present the authors experiences with the upgraded moses 2.0 technology in patients undergoing holep for bph, comparing it to the use of moses 1.0 technology at our institution.The study occurred with 196 patients under one surgeon from december 2020 to september 2023 with a pulse 120 moses holmium laser.Out of the 196 patients, 146 were patients who underwent the procedure using the moses 1.0 technology and 50 patients underwent the procedure using moses 2.0 technology.Postoperative complications included persistent hematuria, clot retention, urethral strictures, bladder neck contraction and stress urinary incontinence.One patient from the moses 1.0 group experienced prolonged gross hematuria, requiring 48-hour catheterization and hospital stay.Additionally, four patients returned to the emergency room (er) with gross hematuria, one of whom also received a postoperative blood transfusion.One patient from the moses 2.0 group returned to the er with gross hematuria, requiring readmission.At the 6 months follow-up, one patient in the moses 2.0 group was diagnosed with meatal stenosis and was treated with dilation under local anesthesia.There was no clear direct association of the meatal stenosis to the holep.Additional information from the author indicates that the meatal stenosis was mostly related to the size of the sheath they used (28 f) rather than the type of machine or laser used.Regarding the stress urinary incontinence, patients were encouraged to do kegel exercises to improve it.No further patient complications were reported.
