HIGH POWER (80 W) POTASSIUM-TITANYL-PHOSPHATE LASER VAPORIZATION OF THE PROSTATE IN 66 HIGH RISK PATIENTS

摘要: ABSTRACTPurpose: Men with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia who are at high cardiopulmonary risk or on oral anticoagulation often denied surgical treatment. Potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser vaporization 80 W is a novel, rapidly emerging technique that promises instant hemostatic tissue ablation. We evaluated the merits of this procedure in patients and those long-term anticoagulation.Materials Methods: The prospective study included 66 severe underwent KTP prostate. All were risk, having presented an American Society Anesthesiology score 3 greater. Additionally, 29 being treated ongoing anticoagulant therapy (26) had bleeding disorder (3).Results: In all was performed successfully. Mean preoperative prostate volume ± SD 49 30 ml mean...
