ABSTRACT
Conventional surgery and transurethral ablation are the treatments of choice for benign hyperplasia. To report our experience with Neodymium YAG laser ablation of prostatic adenomas. Revision of 182 patients subjected to Laser ablation of benign prostatic adenoma of whom 28 had a complete urinary retention and 50 were considered of high surgical risk. One hundred eighty patients had spontaneous voiding after surgery, there were no intraoperatory complications and were discharged 6 to 24 hours after the procedure. Urinary flow increased from 8 ml/sec in the preoperative period to 20 and 21 ml/sec, two and six months after surgery. Symptom score decreased from 12 to 1.2 points. Seven patients had late hematuria and two required vesical lavage and cytoscopic clot drainage.
