Authors' recommendations:
The body of evidence suggests that PVP is a safe, effective, and durable treatment for LUTS secondary to BPH. The papers retrieved for this Rapid Literature Scan do not provide any evidence that PVP is associated with a decreased rate of adverse events Photoselective vaporisation for benign prostatic hyperplasia: a rapid literature scan compared with TURP (or HoLAP). Although care was taken to retrieve representative papers of high quality and relevance, the large number of included studies means that many relevant papers were only briefly summarised from their abstracts. Therefore, the results of this Rapid Literature Scan should be interpreted with caution.
