Effectiveness of laser vaporization technique versus transurethral resection of the prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-12-03) Guzmán Rodríguez, Fiorella; Montesinos Benites, Stefanie Pamela; Matta Solis, Hernán Hugo
Objective: To evaluate the evidence on the efficacy of laser vaporization versus transurethral resection of the prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly patients. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review that synthesizes the results of multiple primary studies. The sample is based on a review of 10 scientific articles published in the scientific databases LILACS, SCIELO, LIPECS, EPISTEMONIKOS, and the Cochrane Review, with the primary focus on the efficacy of laser vaporization versus transurethral resection of the prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly patients. Among the 10 pieces of evidence, 40% (4/10) were systematic reviews, 20% (2/10) were randomized prospective studies, 10% (1/10) was a meta-analysis, 10% (1/10) was a randomized trial, 10% (1/10) was a retrospective observational cohort study, and 10% (1/10) was a randomized clinical trial. Results: 80% of the articles found indicate that laser vaporization is an effective technique, while 20% mention that it is equally as effective as transurethral resection of the prostate, though they suggest continued patient evaluation at hospital discharge. Conclusion: Laser vaporization is more effective than transurethral resection of the prostate because it reduces hospital stay by 70%, bleeding by 80%, catheterization time by 80%, the need for blood transfusion by 70%, and pain by 70% in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly patients.
