Impact of 80 W KTP Laser Vaporization Prostatectomy on Severity of Obstruction in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Impact of 80 W KTP Laser Vaporization Prostatectomy on Severity of Obstruction in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
The purpose of this study is to compared the efficacy of 80W KTP photoselective laser
 vaporization prostatectomy (PVP) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in
 reducing the volume of prostate and relieving the obstruction in men with benign prostatic
 hyperplasia (BPH) on non-randomized controlled design.

 -  prostate volume of 30 to 100 ML

 -  Peak urinary flow rate (Qmax) less than 15 mL/s with a voided volume of >125 mL and a
 PVR <350mL

 -  Able to give fully informed consent

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Subjects with histological diagnosis of prostate cancer

 -  Subjects with history of chronic urinary retention

 -  Subjects with urethral stricture,

 -  Subjects with bladder neck contracture

 -  Subjects with urinary tract infection

 -  Subjects with prostate volume on TRUS of >100 mL

 -  Subjects with suspected neurogenic bladder dysfunction

 -  Subjects who, in the opinion of investigator, are not likely to complete the study for
 whatever reason
