title: [Photoselective vaporization of the prostate using laser "greenlight" 120 w compared with monopolar transurethral resection].
abstract: A total of 120 patients (60 vs 60 men in each group) were randomized. Median IPSS scores at 1 year follow-up were 11.8 ± 1.9 for PVP versus 7.8 ± 4.4 for TURP. Median length of stay was significantly shorter in the PVP group than in the TURP group, with a median of 2.4 ± 1.3 versus 4.2 ± 0.5, respectively (P < 0.01). Uroflowmetry parameters and complications were comparable in both groups. Sexual outcomes were better in the PVP group with statistical significance.
