Abstract
Transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) is a novel minimal invasive treatment of benign prostatic obstruction. TPLA can be performed in an outpatient day-care setting under local anesthesia with optional conscious sedation. The mechanism is bases on thermoablation resulting in coagulative necrosis, which is induced by the laser light of 1064nm. Laser light is delivered in the prostate trough transperineal placed needles. This study aims to treat 20 men by TPLA to evaluate safety and feasibility, and voiding outcomes. TPLA has the potential to become an alternative for standard treatments with urethral approach that require general or spinal anesthesia and hospital admittance.
