Early experience photoselective vaporisation of the prostate using the 180W lithium triborate and comparison with the 120W lithium triborate laser

There is little change in clinical outcomes with the transition from 120W to 180W LBO PVP with an already experienced PVP surgeon. The 180W LBO laser appears to have impacted upon patient selection with significantly increased prostate size and associated with increased energy utilisation. There appears to be a trend toward shorter laser times.
