A randomized trial of photoselective vaporization of the prostate using the 80‐W potassium‐titanyl‐phosphate laser vs transurethral prostatectomy, with a 1‐year follow‐up

Abstract

This trial shows that PVP is an effective technique when compared to TURP, producing equivalent improvements in flow rates and IPSS with the advantages of markedly reduced LOS, DOC and adverse events. A long-term follow-up is being undertaken to ensure durability of these results.
