Direct Comparison of GreenLight Laser XPS Photoselective Prostate Vaporization and GreenLight Laser En Bloc Enucleation of the Prostate in Enlarged Glands Greater than 80 ml: a Study of 120 Patients

Abstract

Photoselective vaporization of the prostate and GreenLight laser enucleation of the prostate are safe and provide satisfactory short-term functional outcomes in patients with a prostate volume greater than 80 ml. However, the surgical time was longer in the photoselective prostate vaporization group, which also had a higher rate of unplanned hospital readmission, and lower decreases in prostate specific antigen and prostate size.
