Comparison of the efficacy and safety between 1470nm laser photoselective vaporization of prostate and transurethral resection of prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia

Abstract

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of 1470 nm diode laser and transurethral resection of prostate(TURP) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). Methods From January 2013 to January 2016, 186 cases of BHP were assigned to 1470 nm diode laser group (n=72)and TURP group (n=114). The preoperative clinical parameters of the two groups were comparable not statistically significant.Then operation condition, follow-up and complication rate were compared between two groups.The clinical effect of two group was analyzed. Results The operation time, estimated blood loss(EBL), postoperative catheter remove and hospital stay were significant better in 1470 nm laser group than TURP group(P 0.05). Conclusions Both surgical approaches of 1470 nm diode laser and TURP show good effect for treating BPH, but the 1470 nm diode laser demonstrates better effica-cy with less blood loss, shorter catheter remove time and hospital stay.
