Comparison of Outcome and Quality of Life Between Thulium Laser (Vela TM XL) Enucleation of Prostate and Bipolar Transurethral Enucleation of the Prostate (B-TUEP).

The efficacy of ThuLEP was comparable to that of B-TUEP in terms of maximal flow rate, voiding volume, IPSS, and quality of life. ThuLEP also had several advantages over B-TUEP, including less blood loss and less postoperative pain. Therefore, ThuLEP can be considered a treatment of choice for BPH/bladder outlet obstruction, specifically for patients with a bleeding tendency and fear of pain.
