The use of laser as a therapeutic modality as compared to TURP for the small prostate ≤ 40ml: a collaborative review.

CONCLUSIONS: Evidence acquisition from the literature showed that mini-invasive surgeries, including Greenlight laser and Holmium laser incision represent valid alternatives to TURP in prostate ≤ 40 grams. We reported effective results of laser therapy as therapeutic modalities as compared to TURP for the small prostate ≤ 40 ml, both for enucleation and excision or cauterization, however cost effective of laser in the current literature are still scarce and it should be implemented.
