    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1998 Jun; 36(6):370-2. PubMed ID: 11825415.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of laser prostatectomy for benign hypertrophy of prostate by transurethral noncontact laser ablation. METHOD: 204 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were treated by transurethral noncontact laser ablation. RESULT: 163 patients resumed urination in a week, and 37 in two weeks. Four patients were treated by open procedure. Patients were followed up for 14 months. Symptomatic scores (I-PSS) exceeded the middle rank in 90% patients and the maximum urinary flow rate was 89%. CONCLUSION: It is an effective method for adjusting the strength, direction, range and frequency of laser to prevent bleeding, perforation and long-term urethral stricture.
