5-year long-term efficacy of 120-W GreenLight photoselective vaporization of the prostate for benign prostate hyperplasia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate 5-year long-term postoperative efficacy in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) following 120-W GreenLight high-performance system photoselective vaporization of the prostate (HPS-PVP).

Methods

This was a retrospective study of surgical outcomes in 159 men who underwent HPS-PVP and were followed over 60 months postoperatively. Definitions of treatment success were established based on the following three variables: international prostate symptom scores (IPSS), maximum flow rates (Qmax), and quality of life scores QoL). Logistic regression analyses were performed to determine predictors of the postoperative success.

Results

Postoperative IPSS/QoL, Qmax and post-voided residual urine volume were significantly improved after HPS-PVP. Postoperative Pro
