To compare the costs associated with GreenLight XPS 180W photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) for an outpatient versus standard transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with a three nights hospitalization in a French private hospital.

This first-in-man study was designed to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of Aquablation. This is a novel minimally invasive water ablation therapy combining image guidance and robotics (AquaBeam(®) ) for the targeted and heat-free removal of prostatic tissue in men suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - During the last 15 years, laser treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has challenged transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) due to advances in laser technology, better understanding of the tissue-laser interactions, and growing clinical experience.

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - In April, 2010, a 2-day interdisciplinary conference on nocturia was convened by the New England Research Institutes, Inc. in Cambridge, MA.

Purpose: Photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) with a 940-nm diode laser is an option for treating symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

To report our experience with long-term outcomes of the HoLEP procedure over a period of 18 years.

A review was performed of a prospectively collected database (March 1998 through June 2016) for patients undergoing HoLEP for symptomatic BPH performed or supervised by a single expert surgeon.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of performing Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for the treatment of bladder outlet obstruction secondary to an enlarged prostate within 6-weeks of a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy.

The diagnosis and treatment of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) is based on a number of well-known lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) feared by all ageing males with functional testes. The ascent of modern urology turned this disease from lethal into an annoying but treatable health problem in the previous century.

Although the photoselective vaporization of the prostate has been considered one of the most promising alternatives for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), published clinical data with the surgical technology of straight beam lithium triborate laser (LBO) is still lacking.
