Contact laser vaporization of the prostate: sidefire technique.

With the development of contact sidefiring fibers, urologists have gained a valuable tool to deliver laser energy more precisely into prostatic tissue. Contact laser prostatectomy can now be viewed as a well-established procedure that offers several distinct advantages over conventional methods such as transurethral resection of the prostate. The results of experimental and clinical studies are presented, supporting the value of this new modality.

Complications of laser prostatectomy.

The appeal of laser therapy is rooted in its absence of complications relative to the gold standard of transurethral electroresection. As in any evaluation of a new medical intervention, efficacy must be weighed against the degree of complications that accompany it. Although there has been a relative paucity of literature specifically addressing the safety of this new modality, several studies are presented testifying to the clinical efficacy and relative absence of complications of laser prostatectomy.
