Impact of prostate‐specific antigen level and prostate volume as predictors of efficacy in photoselective vaporization prostatectomy: analysis and results of an ongoing prospective multicentre study at 3 years

Abstract

These results suggest that there is a significant difference in efficacy in patients with a tPSA of < or = 6.0 ng/mL or > or = 6.1 ng/mL before PVP. However, the overall results achieved with PVP were very positive and durable to 3 years, irrespective of tPSA level and prostate volume.
