If enucleated specimen weight is more than expected according to preoperative ultrasound volume measurement, greater Qmax improvement and less postoperative acute urinary retention is expected. Although precision may be limited by ultrasound approximation and inexact specimen weight measurements, these shortcomings are similar in real-world clinical practice. Overall, preoperative prostate volume and actual enucleated specimen weight should be interpreted in the context of each other to predict clinical outcomes.
