Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most frequent benign tumor in men, reaching a prevalence of 40% in the fourth decade of life and 80% in men 80 years of age and older. The condition leads to bothersome and incapacitating lower urinary tract symptoms that are currently measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score. At present, there are different alternatives for minimally invasive surgical treatment, such as GreenLight laser photoselective vaporization, that can provide the same benefits for the patient as conventional treatment options.
Methods: To find out and describe the usefulness and safety of photoselective vaporization in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, a search for information published within the last 10 years was conducted on the PubMed, ScienceDirect, BVS, and ClinicalKey databases, resulting in the selection of 11 notable studies.
Conclusion: GreenLight laser photoselective vaporization is a safe and efficacious alternative for managing the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, in the short term and long term, with a lower risk of complications than transurethral resection of the prostate.
