متن کاملHolmium laser enucleation versus transurethral resection of the prostate: a comparison of clinical results.
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) represents a great potential alternative technique to standard transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). We present 12-month follow up results of a randomized clinical trial, comparing HoLEP with TURP. A total of 40 patients with BPH and prostate volume < 50 g, have been randomized for HoLEP (n = 20) or TURP (n = 20). Urinary tract ultraso...
