[Efficacy of a high-power laser vaporization in comparison with a monopolar transurethral resection in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia: results of a 6-months follow-up].

Prospective investigation was conducted in 120 patients, operated on for benign prostatic hyperplasia, including 60--using transurethral prostatic resection (TUPR), and in 60--fotoselective vaporization (FSV). The operation duration was shorter while the TUPR application--(62 +/- 13) min than in FSV--(89 +/- 18) min. Although, duration of catheterization in FSV have had constituted at average (1.4 +/- 0.6) days and in TUPR--(3.0 +/- 0.6) days; the hospital stay was less after FSV--at average (2.4 +/- 1.3) days, and after TUPR--(4.2 +/- 0.5) days.
