Abstract

Background: The study population constituted of patients with benign hypertrophy of prostate who attended outpatient department in Department of Urology, The study population comprised of two groups with a total 20 study participants. The study participants who fulfilled inclusion criteria were included in the study.

Conclusion: The 50 watts holmium laser enucleation was not associated with more post operative complications including requirement for blood transfusion when compared to traditional TURP procedure.

There was improvement in American urology score post procedure when compared to pre procedure. This improvement was more in 50 watts laser treatment.

Keywords: Catherterization, Holmium Laser & Post Operative & Efficacy.
