Various articles have previously addressed the introduction of new surgical laser therapies for an enlarged prostate gland causing obstructive symptoms. The objective of this study was to report the feasibility of performing the thulium laser vapo-enucleation of the prostate (thuvep) procedure for benign prostatic obstruction in a 1-day surgery.

We investigated if an adequate histological diagnosis can be made from tissue after Thulium laser vapo-enucleation of the prostate (ThuVEP) and whether it is comparable to transurethral prostate resection (TURP) tissue findings in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Although several new measurements for female sexual dysfunction (fsd) have recently been developed, the female sexual function index (fsfi) remains the gold standard for screening and one of the most widely used questionnaires.
