Abstract

This study aimed to determine serial changes in self-assessed goal achievement (SAGA) and treatment satisfaction after HoLEP, to identify correlations between the two, and to compare them with results assessed by traditional outcome measures. For a total of 170 patients, outcomes were evaluated serially at postoperative 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-months using IPSS, OABSS, SAGA questionnaires and uroflowmetry. The SAGA questionnaire consisted of five questions including one open-ended question (self-assessed goals and degree of SAGA) and another question regarding treatment satisfaction. The number of self-assessed treatment goals was two or more in 74.1% of the patients. Most common treatment goal was relief from straining/hesitancy, followed by increased daytime frequency, nocturia and feeling of incomplete emptying. Degree of achievement for the first or second goal and treatment satisfaction tended to increase with time throughout the follow-up period. Patients with the greatest treatment satisfaction scores showed greater improvement by traditional outcome parameters including quality of life (QOL) index, total OABSS, maximum flow rate (Qmax), post-void residual urine volume (PVR) and bladder voiding efficiency (BVE) compared to th...Continue Reading
