“…Neodymium:YAG, Argon, Holmium:YAG, Potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) and Thulium lasers are in current usage. It is a safe, effective and comfortable procedure with minimal morbidity [1,2,[18][19][20]. The major advantages of using laser include clear vision during incision so that scar tissue is incised more precisely, less blood loss, precise incision and ablation of scar tissue [1,2,10].…”

“…A recent advance is the ability of real-time monitoring of lesion created by the laser with magnetic resonance imaging. 51 In a study in 2014, Javanmard et al investigated 36 patients to evaluate laser ablation of prostate by diode laser prostate for treating bladder outlet obstruction symptoms due to prostate cancer. After surgery, the results of the comparison between diode laser ablation and channel TUR of prostate showed improving IPSS, PVR and Qmax in both groups.…”
