“…14,15,17 This is mainly due to the smaller size of the prostates treated in our series (90ml vs 101, 135, and 123 ml) and maybe to the different technique used to vaporize the gland. [14][15][16] Functional results were comparable to other series (Table 6). In fact, although the new VIT technique decreased operative time per prostate volume from 1.24 min/ml of tissue to 1.10 min/ml of tissue when compared to the standard PVP technique performed by the same authors, the IPSS and flow rates at postoperative months 1 and 3 showed no significant differences between the two techniques.…”

“…The authors showed a PV reduction of 35-67%, reflecting the efficacy of tissue vaporization of the KTP laser in these huge glands. 16 In all studies, no patient required a blood transfusion, nor did any patient display evidence of postoperative hyponatremia. Complications were rare and their profile was similar to the profile of complications in our study (Table 6).…”

“…As PVP with the GreenLight system has a favourable safety profile [16,17], we aimed to study the efficacy of this novel technique for treating patients with very large prostates. To avoid any controversy about what constitutes a ‘large’ prostate we assessed only those patients with prostates of ≥100 mL.…”
