Authors' objectives:
To assess and compare the efficacy, the safety and the cost of the laser techniques most widely used in France (laser photoselective vaporisation of the prostate (PVP)) and overseas (Holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP)) compared with traditional techniques (transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and open prostatectomy (OP)).
To determine the precise indications and the conditions of use of the two laser techniques.
Authors' recommendations:
In summary, the literature data on one hand and the views of the consulted healthcare professionals on the other show that the studied laser techniques (PVP and HoLEP) can be regarded as possible treatment options in the same indications as the traditional techniques (TURP and OP), given the advantages shown by these two laser techniques, namely reductions in bleeding, the length of catheterisation and the length of stay in hospital.
