A comparative study of laser ablation and transurethral electroresection for benign prostatic hyperplasia : results of a 6‐month follow‐up

Abstract: Objective To compare the efficacy of standard transurethral electroresection of the prostate (TURP) and visual laser ablation in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Patients and methods In a randomized prospective study, the prostate glands of 60 patients with symptomatic bladder outlet obstruction caused by BPH were treated with TURP or visual ablation with the Ultraline side‐firing Nd:YAG laser; the patients were assessed using standard symptom scores, the measurement of residual urine and … Show more

“…In three studies 164,179,192 the mean duration of operation was shorter in the laser group and in one 193 there were no differences between the two groups. Metaanalysis of four studies with suitable data showed a non-statistically significant difference between laser vaporisation and TURP (Appendix 9.7, comparison 07:11: WMD 0.29, 95% CI -2.19 to 2.78, p = 0.82).…”

“…146,164,179,190,192 Meta-analysis of three of these trials 164,179,192 is marked by considerable heterogeneity in which the direction of effect and effect sizes vary across studies with one study favouring TURP. 164 The source of heterogeneity is unclear; however, it may be due to different levels of energy delivery across studies.…”
