ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To report 5-year outcomes, need and predictors of retreatment post greenlight laser photoselective vaporization (GL.PVP) and vapo-enucleation (GL.PVEP), as long-term data on safety and efficacy of GL.PVP and GL.PVEP and on the prostate using XPSTM system are still pending. Patients andmethods:
Primary outcome was the need for retreatment (medical treatment and reintervention) for recurrent BOO. Time-to-event (retreatment) analysis, perioperative events, change in the urinary outcome measures at different follow-up visits, early and late complications and PSA kinetics were reported.Results:
Between September 2014 and April 2017, 248 patients underwent GL/XPS procedures. GL.PVP and GL.PVEP were carried out for 157 (63.3%) and 91 (36.7%) patients with mean prostate sizes of 60 ± 18 and 100 ± 22 cc, respectively. After a mean duration of 62 ± 9-month follow-up, overall retreatment rate (medical and interventional) was 23% (57 patients). It was comparable between both GL.PVP and GL.PVEP cases 38 (24.2%) and 19 (20.9%) patients, P = 0.5, respectively. Significantly more surgical reintervention rate was reported after GL.PVP compared to GL.PVEP (P = 0.03). In retreatment group, more intraoperative bleeding (P = 0.02), early postoperative hematuria (P = 0.03), higher median preoperative PSA (P = 0.02) and less postoperative one-year percent PSA reduction (P = 0.02) were detected. Lower postoperative one-year percent PSA reduction independently predicts retreatment with a cut-off point of 64.2% (58.2% sensitivity, 73.4% specificity, AUC 0.647, 95% CI 0.52-0.76).Median (range in months) time to event was 20 (1-60) for all cases and 13.5 (1-42) and 30 (18-60), P = 0.7, for GL.PVP and GL.PVEP groups, respectively.Conclusion:
Greenlight laser XPS is an effective, durable and versatile tool in treating benign prostatic obstruction. Durability of the outcome is predictable with more postoperative PSA reduction.
