Brief summary

The aim of this study is to compare medical efficacy and cost effectiveness of two surgical options for obstructive BPH management : transurethral resection of the prostate with photo selective vaporization of the prostate using the high powered 532nm laser.

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to compare medical efficacy and cost effectiveness of two surgical options for obstructive BPH management : transurethral resection of the prostate with photo selective vaporization of the prostate using the high powered 532nm laser. Patients were randomized in two groups after inclusion. Perioperative data were collected, and follow-up was conducted for one month.
