Estudio multicéntrico de costes de 2 técnicas quirúrgicas: láser GreenLight XPS 180W vs resección transuretral de la próstata

Safety, efficacy and reliability of 180-W GreenLight laser technology for prostate vaporization: review of the literature

“…This reduction offsets the increased costs associated with surgical stage in the purchase of the necessary equipment to perform the technique. In addition, the authors underline how this cost reduction is even more important given the increasing number of patients treated on an outpatient surgery [18].…”

Fotovaporización selectiva de la próstata con láser GreenLight XPS 180w y fibra Moxy: Seguridad y eficacia en pacientes con crecimiento prostático obstructivo en el Hospital General “Dr. Manuel Gea González”

“…(9) Siguiendo la clasificación asa, el grado II fue el más prevalente en 63.6%, comparable con lo comentado por Benejam con 66%. (15) El valor promedio de ipss prequirúrgico fue de 14.5 puntos, menor a lo mencionado por Thomas de 21.2 y Benejam de 23.08 pun-tos, (16,17) pero mayor que Vásquez-Lastra de 11.8. (18) El Qmax prequirúrgico medio fue de 7.19 ml/seg, similar al reportado en el estudio de Benejam de 7.05 ml/seg, pero menor a James con 9.5 ml/seg.…”

Greenlight laser vaporization versus transurethral resection of the prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic obstruction: evidence from randomized controlled studies

“…Cost analysis is another crucial parameter which should be taken into consideration when comparing different surgical procedures for BPO. The XPS/180 W was found to be associated with a significant reduction in overall costs when compared to TURP in a multicenter study ( 12 ). Cost was significantly higher in the surgical phase with XPS but was significantly lower in the post-surgical phase due to a shorter length of hospital stay that offsets the cost of the new technology.…”
