Prospective single‐centre comparison of 120‐W diode‐pumped solid‐state high‐intensity system laser vaporization of the prostate and 200‐W high‐intensive diode‐laser ablation of the prostate for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia

Abstract

Both systems investigated provide good tissue ablative properties. The HiDi laser at 980 nm is more favourable in terms of haemostasis. The penetration depths, resulting in coagulation necrosis and leading to increased re-treatment, bladder neck stricture and incontinence rates, were higher with the HiDi laser.
