![]() The adjusted volume estimation resulted in an overall shorter expected preoperative operating time by a median of 21 min (24%) and by a median of 40 min in prostates weighing >80 g. The ICC between the adjusted volumes and the enucleated tissue weights was 0.86 ( p 80 g. The potential impact of preoperative planning on operating time was calculated. The results were compared to the weight of the tissue removed by laser enucleation as determined by the intraclass correlation coefficient test (ICC). The preoperative AUS volume was adjusted by the formula 1.082 × Age + 0.523 × AUS − 53.845, which was based on specimens retrieved by suprapubic prostatectomy. A total of 293 patients treated for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) by laser enucleation from 2019–2022 were included. ![]() We aimed to validate a formula for improving the estimation of prostatic volume by abdominal ultrasound (AUS) prior to transurethral laser enucleation.
