Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The vapoenucleation of the prostate using green laser is an alternative hybrid technique between vaporization and enucleation. It consists of vaporizing the lateral lobes and enucleating the median lobe. The advantages compared with photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) are: a fairly fast operation, low reoperation rates, it is suitable for large glands and provides pathology specimen. The aim of this video is to demonstrate the vapoenucleation technique step-by-step.
