Visual laser ablation of prostate

Effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields on benign prostate hyperplasia

“…Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is a common problem in the elderly men, which has been treated with various types of electromagnetic radiation minimal invasion methods such as transurethral needle ablation (TUNA), interstitial laser therapy (ILC), and holmium laser resection (HoLRP), which exert thermal effects on prostate [10][11][12][13][14].…”

Side-Firing Neodymium:YAG Laser Prostatectomy

“…Prostate symptom scores (AUA or IPSS) and objective measures of uroflowmetry and post void residual urine volumes all show clinically significant improvement which is the equivalent of TURP and superior to most other new medical and surgical treatments for BPH (table 2) [10, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43]. Kabalin et al [30]reported that 85% of men undergoing side-firing Nd:YAG laser prostatectomy could expect at least a 50% improvement in either prostate symptom score or peak urinary flow rate.…”
