Holmium Laser Enucleation Versus Photoselective Vaporization for Prostatic Adenoma Greater than 60 Ml: Preliminary Results of a Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract: Holmium laser enucleation and photoselective vaporization are effective for lower urinary tract symptoms due to a large prostatic adenoma. Early subjective functional results (maximum flow rate and post-void residual urine) of holmium laser enucleation appear to be superior to those of photoselective vaporization. In our hands cases intended to be treated with photoselective vaporization were at 22% risk of conversion to another modality. This could reflect our determination to vaporize to the capsule in all v… Show more

“…Evaluation of different endo-enucleation techniques for prostatic adenomas has indicated that TUERP yields durable subjective and objective improvements [9,[10][11][12][13]. In the current study, our 7 year long-term follow-up data showed that TUERP has a low morbidity rate and is an alternative to TURP in the treatment of patients with symptomatic BPH.…”

“…21 In a previous PVP study using the earlier HPS system, there were no conversions in the HoLEP group vs 21.6% conversion in PVP group. 22 Other authors reported the need for auxiliary TURP for hemostasis and residual tissue removal during PVP-XPS in 3.8% to 27.4% of cases. 23,24 Moreover, Bachmann et al showed significant association of the use of auxiliary TURP with larger prostate size in patients treated with XPS where monopolar TURP was used in 6.5% of patients with prostates 40 to 80 ml vs 16% with prostates larger than 80 ml.…”

“…However, this procedure certainly falls behind others in terms of resection efficiency for large glands and lack of tissue and fear of re-growth of gland, thus resulting in redo procedures [13]. HoLEP has demonstrated significantly higher, resected prostate weight and less hemoglobin loss [14]; although it is still not the first choice because of its steep learning curve and high costs (additional set-up cost and recurrent cost for laser fibers) [15,16,17,18], the latter being a cause of concern in the elderly due to lack of financial income specially in developing countries. The incidence of TURS in patients undergoing TURP is about 0.5-10.5%.…”
