Abstract

It has previously been shown that holmium laser resection of the prostate (HoLRP) is superior to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with regard to perioperative morbidity and is equivalent to TURP in the short term. We present the long-term results of a randomized, prospective trial comparing HoLRP to TURP since information regarding the durability of holmium prostatectomy is lacking in the literature to date. A total of 120 patients with urodynamic obstruction were randomized (April 1996 to August 1997) into 2 comparable groups and assigned to HoLRP or TURP. All patients were assessed preoperatively and followed prospectively at 3 weeks, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 months postoperatively with an American Urological Association symptom score, quality of life score, peak urinary flow rate, and questionnaires concerning sexual function and continence. Preoperative pressure flow studies, ultrasound prostatic volume assessment and post-void residual volume measurement were repeated at the 6-month visit. All adverse events were noted. Of 120 patients 73 completed the 48-month assessment. HoLRP and TURP resulted in significant improvements in all parameters. There was no difference between the 2 techniques in terms of urodynamic ...Continue Reading
