AB  - OBJECTIVE: Assessment of the results of laser prostatectomy, as a treatment for 
      benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). DESIGN: Prospective case control study. 
      SETTING: University Hospital Utrecht, the Netherlands. METHOD: Between February 
      1992 and May 1993, 54 men with their micturition complaints due to BPH were 
      treated with laser prostatectomy (TULIP system). Results were assessed using the 
      international prostatic symptom score (IPSS), the maximal flow and urodynamic 
      tests. The results were compared retrospectively with results of transurethral 
      resection of the prostate (TURP; n = 40): both groups were urodynamically 
      identical. RESULTS: Of the 54 patients, 10 could not be evaluated 6 months after 
      treatment (5 of them underwent TURP or a second laser prostatectomy). In 40 
      patients complete evaluation including urodynamics before and six months after 
      treatment was possible. A significant decrease in the symptom score from 19.3 
      (SD: 7.6) to 6.3 (SD: 5.4) and increase of the maximal flow during pressure-flow 
      studies from 9.6 to 15.8 ml per second were observed. The decrease of the voiding 
      pressure at 6 months after TURP in comparison with laser prostatectomy was close 
      to significance (p = 0.05); the other improvements after urodynamics were 
      comparable. CONCLUSION: Laser prostatectomy is a promising new therapy for BPH.
