Abstract:Objective?To explore the efficacy and safety of Transurethral vaporization of the prostate using 1 470 nm diode laser in treatment of BPH.?Methods?58 cases BPH patients underwent transurethral vaporization of the prostate using 1 470 nm diode laser from Dec. 2015 to Apr. 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, including the mean operation time and compared hemoglobin, electrolyte, urinary symptoms, before and after surgery.?Result?Operations were successfully performed in all the 58 cases, with average operation time of (48.2 ± 16.3) min. No difference was found in either hemoglobin decrease or electrolyte decrease before and after surgery. The patients were followed up for 1~3 months, which revealed a significant reduction in IPSS and improvement in Qmax and PVR (P < 0.05), compared with pre-operation. No severe complications were reported, including transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome, urinary incontinence and impaired erectile function.?Conclusion?Transurethral vaporization of the prostate using 1 470 nm diode laser is a safe and effective therapy for BPH. It has advantages of short learning curve, very little blood loss, high efficacy. It has promising broad prospects.
