Abstract

Objective To study the efficacy and safety of photoselective vaporization of the prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods A total of 216 men(56 to 93 years old) with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia received photoselective vaporization of the prostate with an 80W quasicontinuous KTP laser.Prostatic volume was 24～134g.Results Mean operative time was 48.8min.After the cathetre was pulled out in 24 hours,the(patients) could generally urinate well.At one-month follow-up,the mean I-PSS decreased from 26±3.7 to 13.4±1.9(P0.01),whole the Qmax increased from(6.82±2.47)ml/s to(17.23±4.78)ml/s(P0.01).Complications consisted of hematuria in 4 cases,urinary infection in 6 cases and 1 acute epididymitis.(Conclusion)PVP is a safe,effective and simple procedure for the treatment of BPH with less pain and quick recovery.
