Neodymium:YAG visual laser ablation of the prostate
OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to evaluate safety and efficacy of laser prostatectomy in the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
METHODS: Neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) visual laser ablation of the prostate was performed in 43 patients (mean age 66 +/- 11.5 years) with BPH. The mean prostatic volume was 44.7 +/- 19.7 ml. A right-angle, side-firing laser fiber (Lasersonics Ultraline) and a neodymium:YAG laser generator (Hercules 5060) were used.
RESULTS: There were no perioperative complications including hemorrhage and transurethral reflux syndrome. The average postoperative hospital stay was 1.3 days, and the average urethral catheterization time was 3.8 days. Thirty-two patients were evaluated 6 months after the operation. A significant improvement was found in the mean symptom score from 21.8 +/- 7.6 to 8.3 +/- 6.9 (p < 0.001). A significant decrease from 104.3 +/- 78 to 55.7 +/- 30 ml was found between the preoperative and the postoperative mean residual urine volumes (p < 0.001). The mean peak flow rate increased from 8.7 +/- 3.9 to 16.1 +/- 2.4 ml/s (p < 0.001), and the mean average flow rate increased from 4.9 +/- 2 to 10.2 +/- 2.9 ml/s (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that laser prostatectomy is a promising alternative in the treatment of BPH.
