Plasmakinetic enucleation of prostate versus 160‑W laser photoselective vaporization for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia Si‑Jun Wang1, Xiao‑Nan Mu2, Ji Chen3, Xun‑Bo Jin3, Shi‑Bao Zhang1, Long‑Yang Zhang1 To evaluate the safety and efficacy of plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate (PKEP) for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) compared with 160‑W lithium triboride laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP). From February 2011 to July 2012, a prospective nonrandomized study was performed. One‑hundred one patients underwent PKEP, and 110 underwent PVP. No severe intraoperative complications were recorded, and none of the patients in either group required a blood transfusion. Shorter catheterization time (38.14 ± 23.64 h vs 72.54 ± 28.38 h, P
