Background: The Green Light Laser HPS 120W is a widely used procedure nowadays. The latest machines offer major improvements on the first prototypes in terms of speed, efficiency, safety and total PSA and f/t PSA ratio changes postoperatively in BPH patients after using GREENLIGHT HPS 120W. Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyse the safety, and efficacy of the new technology, the HPS-120W Green Light Laser in the management of patients who were symptomatic because of BPH postoperatively Patients and methods: A total of 38 patients who underwent the Green Light Laser PVP at our institution were studied. Serum prostrate-specific antigen level changes were observed postoperatively after 1 month.
Results:The average age of the patients was 63.93 years, range 58-72. The Total average IPSS score was 21.88, range of 18-27. The average PSA level of patients in our study after 1month was 2.25ng/dl and prostate size of 65.82ml. An average IPSS score measured after 1 month of surgery was 10.05 with a range of 7-13, drop in IPSS score was 11.83 (21.88-10.05) while the average PVR measured after 1 month of surgery was 29.82ml with a range of 18-45ml and average Q max measured after 1 month of surgery was 20.55ml/s with a range of 17.8-24.7ml/s, an increase in Q max was 12.56ml/s (20.55-7.99). Conclusions: Our study shows that the Green Light HPS 120W Laser is safe and efficacious for the management of BPH.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
