Because of its low specificity and low negative predictive value, mpMRI is not suitable for diagnosing low-grade small-volume PCa. However, because of a specificity of 85% and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.7, mpMRI may be useful for follow-up of previously TRUS-bx diagnosed patients who are on AS.

Results from PVP with an HPS(®) laser are durable. Complications are low and compare favourably with TURP. Lasing energy, PSA, Qmax, patient age and length of stay are not associated with development of complications. However, a longer postoperative catheterisation after PVP is associated with development of complications.
