Zusammenfassung: | 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.

We describe the first reported case of a vesicosigmoid fistula secondary to a morcellation injury during HoLEP. |
