Photoselective vaporisation of the prostate has equivalent intermediate-term functional outcomes to TURP

In an article by Thangasamy et al published in Eur Urol (2012) the authors describe the results of a meta-analysis of the results of photoselective vaporisation of the prostate (PVP) also known as Green Light Laser prostate surgery, compared to Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). 9 trials were identified with 448 patients treated with PVP, and 441 with TURP. Period of post-op catheterisation, blood loss and blood transfusion were significantly better with PVP, although operating time was longer. Regarding functional outcomes, 6 studies found no difference, 2 favoured TURP and 1 favoured PVP, with variable follow-up between 6 and 36 months.
