Abstract :Results and efficacy of visual laser ablation prostatectomy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(VLAP); in twenty patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BPH); were evaluated by means of parameters including symptom scores, urinary peak flow rates, post-void residuel urine volumes and prostatic weights. The mean operation time was 18 minutes and the mean energy applied to the prostatic tissue was 13.120 Joules. When we compared all parameters mentioned above, there was a significant difference between preoperative values and values at 3rd. and 6th. months. These early results indicate that VLAP is an effective treatment modality for BPH. However longer followup is mandatory to make a certain definition.Keywords : Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, Nd YAG Laser In Surgery
