Abstract
Twenty five patients with symptomatic BPH and normal PSA underwent ele ctrovaporization. The mean IPSS was 21.5 before and 7.8 three months a fter treatment while the mean peakflow was 7.1 ml/s and became 16.9. W ith a short hospital stay (3 days) and a very low morbidity, electrova porization seems to be a good alternative to TURF. A longer follow-up is necessary.
