Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a disease of the prostate in ageing males.Bipolar TURP is gaining more acceptance due to decreased complications.The introduction of Photoselective Vaporisation of Prostate (PVP) or Green light Laser has emerged as a safer alternative to Bipolar TURP.Methods: An unbiased cohort research comprising ninety patients (greenlight laser 45, bipolar TURP 45) between November 2020 to October 22 with BHP older than fifty years old with prostate of size 40-70 gm to compare the greenlight laser and bipolar TURP clinical outcomes.Results: The patients' mean age in the Greenlight group was 69.756 years, with an SD of 6.5372, while their mean age in the TURP group was 65.067 years, with an SD of 4.3243.Comparably, in the Greenlight group, the patient's mean prostate volume was 59.556 gm with an SD of 6.8376, and in the TURP group, it was 51.644 gm years with an SD of 6.6441.With SD of 2.4073, 0.4931, and 3.8076, respectively, the mean operation time, length of hospital stay, and catheterization period with the Greenlight Laser were 72.022, 1.467, and 14.844.The average length of the bipolar TURP procedure, hospital stay, and catheterization were, in order, 54.467, 2.567, and 36.556, with corresponding SD of 6.2943, 0.8765, and 6.6829. Conclusion:The current study concluded that the greenlight laser is a more secure and practical substitute for bipolar TURP.However, large randomised studies are needed to prove that greenlight laser is superior.
