title: Holmium:YAG laser enucleation of the prostate: multimedia description from a trainee's perspective.
abstract: Adoption of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate has been limited by its difficult learning curve. To enhance training, digital video clips from four procedures were captured in MPEG-2 format and compiled into a PowerPoint file with professional narration. The two surgical techniques used--the two-lobe and three-lobe methods--are described with a focus on the technical details and common mistakes.
