Abstract

Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) is a safe and effective treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, in some cases, it can lead to life-threatening complications. In particular, morcellation of the resected adenoma may be a very dangerous procedure when performed without clear visualization. We describe the first reported case of a vesicosigmoid fistula secondary to a morcellation injury during HoLEP.
