English
Authors' recommendations:
Overall, the more common laser prostatectomy procedures (KTP PVP and HoLEP) appear to be at least as safe and effective as TURP for the treatment of BPH. There is inadequate literature available to say the same for the less commonly used laser approaches (diode laser vaporisation and ThuLEP).
