Laser prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia
Record ID 32006001086
English
Authors' objectives:
Laser prostatectomy is a minimally invasive therapy that uses laser-generated heat to produce coagulation necrosis, to induce vaporization of prostate tissue, or allow for resection of prostate tissue. The laser device is introduced endoscopically through the urethra allowing direct visualization and access to the prostate gland. This procedure is intended as an alternative to traditional surgical transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
