The impact of vaporization on adenoma weight in benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery
The weight of the adenoma removed during surgical treatment of BPH differs depending on the technique used and, therefore, cannot be used comparatively between techniques. Resection surgeries result in tissue vaporization and dehydration, reducing adenoma weight by approximately 28%. Adenoma volume determination by MRI shows a strong correlation with the volume to be removed during surgery.
