[Pilot results of prostatic adenoma treatment with diode laser Medilas D UroBeam in the Ukraine].

Abstract

Pilot results of prostatic adenoma treatment with diode laser (940 nm) in 94 patients showed high efficacy of laser vaporization of the prostate. The effect was achieved in all the patients in minimal number of complications and in satisfactory tolerance of the surgery. Laser vaporization has some advantages over standard treatment (TUR) and is a method of choice in small and middle-size adenomas. In large adenoma good results were obtained in combination of laser vaporization with bipolar TUR.
