Abstract：Objective:To compare the efficacy of transurethral green laser photoselective vaporization (PVP) vs.holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP) of the prostate for prostatic hyperplasia.Methods:286 patients in PVP group and 132 patients in HoLEP group were hospitalized from May 2013 to June 2017 in our urology clinic department.Pre-operation general conditions, data of the operations and post-operation indexes including Qmax, postvoid residual (PVR), IPSS were compared between two groups.Results:There were no significant differences in pre-operation conditions between two groups (P＞0.05).The mean operation time in HoLEP group was significantly longer than in PVP group (P=0.032).There was no significant difference in blood loss during operation, bladder irrigation time, catheterization time and post-operation hospitalization time between two groups (P＞0.05).After operation, the Qmax, PVR and IPSS were significantly improved compared to pre-operation.But there was no significant difference regardomg these indexes between two groups after operation.Conclusions:Both PVP and HoLEP are safe and efficacious, which deserves promotion and clinical application.
