The 980 nm/1470 nm diode laser represents the latest in laser technology for photovaporization of the prostate. Surgeons have already used this device in both inpatient and outpatient (office and ASC) setting to produce transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) like lesions-albeit with fewer complications than traditional methods. The objective of this article is to report the techniques we used to demonstrate its efficacy and safety of the Evolve Dual (biolitec Inc., East Longmeadow, MA, USA) system in an outpatient surgery type setting.

Objective: To investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on preoperative characteristics, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), intraoperative variables, surgical outcomes and postoperative complications.
Methods: This is a retrospective observational study including 891 benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients who underwent GreenLight Laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) between 2014 and 2020. Clinical characteristics, uroflowmetry parameters, and surgery related parameters were extracted from electronic health records.
A 72-year-old high-risk male presented to our hospital with severe bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) caused by an enlarged prostate with a volume exceeding 130 cc. Subsequently, the patient successfully underwent GreenLight laser (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP). The patient had been unsuitable for conventional surgical modalities such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or open prostatectomy due to multiple pre-existing comorbidities, including coronary artery disease (CAD), atrial fibrillation (AF), and concurrent use of antiplatelet therapy.

Methodology We conducted a retrospective follow-up study of postoperative patients who underwent GLL.

Purpose: We compared surgical complications after laser prostatic photovaporization in anticoagulated versus non-anticoagulated patients.
Methods: A propensity score was calculated and patients were matched, to compare postoperative complications using the Clavien-Dindo classification between the anticoagulated and non-anticoagulated groups. We also identified factors associated with complications, and perform an analysis of secondary endpoint with categories of urological complications.
