INFO:

This video shows vaporization of the prostate. It is a procedure used in the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and an alternative to TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate). In this case laser vaporization has been performed by vaporizing laser: KTP (potassium–titanyl–phosphate).

Indications for prostate laser vaporization, according to the European Urological Association (EUA) guidelines are patients using anticoagulant therapy who cannot be interrupted before the procedure, patients who cannot undergo TURP or patients wishing for a regular ejaculation after the surgery.
