Pooled analysis revealed PVP is associated with reduced blood loss, transfusion, clot retention, TUR syndrome, capsular perforation, catheterisation time and hospitalisation, but also with a higher reintervention rate and longer intervention duration (all p&lt;0.05). No significant difference in IPSS, Qmax, QoL, PVR or IIEF at 3, 24, 36 or 60 months was identified. There was a significant difference in QoL at 6 months (MD=\u22120.08; 95%\u2009CI \u22120.13 to \u22120.02; p=0.007), and IPSS (MD = \u22120.10; 95%\u2009CI \u22120.15 to \u22120.05; p&lt;0.0001) and Qmax (MD=0.62; 95%\u2009CI 0.06 to 1.19; p=0.03) at 12 months, although these differences were not clinically relevant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PVP is an effective alternative, holding additional safety benefits. PVP has equivalent long-term IPSS, Qmax, QoL, PVR, IIEF efficacy and fewer complications. The main drawbacks are dysuria and reintervention, although both can be managed with non-invasive techniques. The additional shortcoming is that PVP does not acquire histological tissue examination which removes an opportunity to identify prostate cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2018-028855","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,22]],"date-time":"2019-08-22T05:17:45Z","timestamp":1566451065000},"page":"e028855","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Comparison of photoselective green light laser vaporisation versus traditional transurethral resection for benign prostate hyperplasia: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials and prospective studies"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Shicong","family":"Lai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Beijing, China"},{"name":"Graduate School of Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Panxin","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Peking University China-Japan Friendship School of Clinical Medicine, Beijing, China"},{"name":"Department of Urology, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tongxiang","family":"Diao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Beijing, China"},{"name":"Peking university fifth school of clinical medicine, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huimin","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Beijing, China"},{"name":"Graduate School of Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Beijing, China"},{"name":"Peking university fifth school of clinical medicine, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yaoguang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8277-1076","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel","family":"Seery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianye","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121511483778000_9.8.e028855.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2013.03.004"},{"key":"2025121511483778000_9.8.e028855.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2012.01.052"},{"key":"2025121511483778000_9.8.e028855.3","unstructured":"Bachmann A , Descazeaud A , Drake M , et al .
