Photoselective laser ablation of the prostate: a review of the current 2015 tissue ablation options.
INTRODUCTION Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is still considered the gold standard to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) has gained widespread acceptance as an alternative option requiring preoperative patient selection. Four laser systems are currently in use: holmium, thulium, diode and GreenLight. MATERIALS AN...

متن کاملPhotoselective GreenLight™ laser vaporization versus transurethral resection of the prostate in Greece: a comparative cost analysis.
PURPOSE To compare photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) using the 120W GreenLight™ laser with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in terms of their cost to the Greek National Health Service (NHS) or to the Public Insurance Sickness Funds (PISF). PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective cost evaluation with 1-year follow-up of 60 patients with infravesical obstruction of beni...
متن کاملAB061. Are post-operative irritative symptoms more favorable in GreenLight XPS 180W laser vaporization of the prostate compared to GreenLight KTP 80W laser vaporization of the prostate?
Background: Irritative symptoms including prolonged urgency and dysuria after GreenLight laser photoselective vaporization (PVP) of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are common complication. We aimed to compare the incidence of postoperative irritative symptoms of GreenLight XPS (GL-XPS) 180W laser system with GreenLight KTP (GL-KTP) 80W laser system for the treatment of BPH and evaluate the r...
متن کاملThe Evolution of KTP Laser Vaporization of the Prostate
The search for a minimally invasive approach to the treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is probably as old as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP). In an effort to overcome the limitations and morbidities of TURP, and in light of evidence suggesting that medical treatment for BPH has a limited life-span, laser-based treatme...
