Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided celiac plexus neurolysis (EUS-CPN) is a widely practiced technique. Three sets of guidelines have recently been published and this procedure has become a major EUS technique. However, there are still several unanswered questions. The purpose of this manuscript is to review the recent literature pertaining to EUS-CPN. Currently, the main indication of EUS-CPN is pancreatic cancer pain. It is also performed for patients with chronic pancreatitis, but the indication is controversial due to its limited efficacy and a high incidence of infectious complications. Various techniques, such as central and bilateral EUS-CPN, and EUS-guided direct celiac ganglia neurolysis (EUS-CGN) have been performed. However, the efficacies of these techniques remain controversial. Complications related to the procedures are generally not serious, but major adverse events, such as paraplegia and ischemic complications, have been reported. The impacts of EUS-CPN on survival have also been evaluated. Although increased survival was expected via improvements in the quality of life, data suggests that EUS-CPN related procedures, especially EUS-CGN, might reduce the survival time. However, precise mechanisms have not been elucidated. In addition to conventional techniques, new techniques, such as EUS-guided celiac ganglion radiofrequency ablation (EUS-RFA) and the use of highly viscous phenol-glycerol, dexmedetomidine, and contrast-enhanced agents, have been introduced. However, these techniques are still in experimental stages. Additional studies need to be conducted to address these gaps in the literature.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in patients with a small prostate volume (≤30 mL). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 1,135 patients who underwent HoLEP at two institutions between July 2007 and March 2020. Patients who were not evaluated for the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) before or after HoLEP were excluded. We divided patients into two groups according to estimated prostate volume (ePV): ≤30 (n=198) and >30 mL (n=539). The patient characteristics, IPSS, peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), postvoid residual urine volume (PVR), and other data were compared before and after surgery in each group and between the two groups. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with the efficacy of HoLEP in the group with ePV ≤30 mL. Results: A total of 737 patients were included in this retrospective study. ePV (23.4 mL vs. 50 mL; p<0.001) and PVR differed significantly between the two groups. The IPSS, IPSS-quality of life, PVR, and Qmax significantly improved after HoLEP in both groups. Improvements in the IPSS, IPSS-quality of life, Qmax, and PVR were greater in the >30 mL group (p<0.001), whereas operation time and morcellation time were significantly shorter in the ≤30 mL group. In the multivariate analysis, age <70 years was independently associated with improvement by HoLEP. Conclusions: HoLEP is an effective treatment for patients with a small prostate, even though the extent of improvement after HoLEP was greater in those with a larger prostate.
