Abstract

Introduction

Since its introduction around 15 years ago, many urologists have been interested in learning the technique of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), but have not known how to achieve this efficiently and safely.

Materials and methods

In the UK, a Holmium User Group (HUG) was established in 2006. The main purpose was to provide structured HoLEP training.

Results and conclusion

Since 2010, the first modular HoLEP training programme has been provided by HUG. This paper describes the HUG HoLEP training programme in detail including the incorporation of recently available HoLEP simulators.
