Abstract

Objectives To investigate the application efficacy of red laser vaporization resection in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). Methods 42 BPH patients were treated by red laser vaporization resection from June 2010 and September 2014.The mean operative time, intra–operative bleeding, postoperative complications, international prostate symptom score(IPSS), quality of life(QOL) score, maximum urinaryflow rate(Qmax) and post void residual(PVR) before and after surgery were recorded and analyzed. Results The operation was completed successfully in 42 caces, and there was no complications.The mean operative time was(61.52 ± 18.48)min and mean postoperative indwelling catheter time was(4.57 ± 1.42)d.After 3 months, IPSS score dropped from(27.33±3.95) to(9.05±1.45), QOL scores decreased from(5.17±0.79) to (0.95±0.56), Qmax raised from(6.07±1.97) mL/s to (19.05±1.93) mL/s, PVR decreased from (107.76 ±66.99)mL to (17.05 ± 6.74) mL, and hemoglobin were no different between before surgery and after surgery. Conclusions Red laser vaporization treatment is a safe and effective treatment for BPH. Key words: Prostatic Hyperplasia; Lasers
