This chapter compares holmium laser prostatectomy to transurethral resection of the prostate, using current published evidence. The evolution of holmium laser prostatectomy to the technique of enucleation is discussed. The enucleation technique is termed holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP)....
Laser treatments of the prostate vs TURP/ open prostatectomy: systematic review of urodynamic data. The laser hybrid therapy with CLAP/visual laser ablation of the prostate (VLAP)/Nd:YAG was inferior to TURP. VLAP and KTP showed inhomogeneous RESULTS:... TRW Herrmann,A Georgiou,T Bach,... ...
The gold standard treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has been the transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). However, this procedure is associated with a number of complications, and other surgical therapies, including laser prostatectomy, have been developed to overcome these issues...
Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety between holmium laser enucleation of the prostate(HoLEP)and open prostatectomy(OP)for benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)with prostates70g.Method:All randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of HoLEP and OP for the treatment of BPH were collected.The quality of ...
However, uptake has been relatively slow in many parts of the world, including the UK, due in part to a long learning curve or inferior clinical outcomes, despite the commonly accepted advantages of laser prostatectomy, including lower risk of perioperative complications, shorter catheterisation time...

(17.4%), who were followed up for at least 3 years, underwent areoperationdue to insufficient first vaporization. The reoperation rate (excluding strictures and prostatectomy) was significantly higher in patients with prostate volume ≥40ml (9.1% in patients with prostate volumes <40mL vs 25% in...
