Early experience photoselective vaporisation of the prostate using the 180W lithium triborate and comparison with the 120W lithium triborate laser

摘要

Purpose:There is a paucity of information on the clinical efficacy and safety of the photoselective vaporization (PVP) of the prostate using the 180W lithium triborate (LBO) laser. We report on initial outcomes of PVP with the 180W laser, comparing the first 50 cases with the last 50 cases performed with the 120W LBO laser.
