Abstract

Few series exist in the literature of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) after prostatic urethral lift (PUL). Even less well known are potential complications seen after a patient undergoes PUL followed by HoLEP. We present our case of a unique clinical finding of a PUL clip and suture found in the urethra of a patient after HoLEP.
