[Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with the use of lasers]

Lasers are becoming more and more widely used in medicine, gaining significant clinical acceptance in the treatment of diseases of the genitourinary system. The aim of this study is to present contemporary methods of treatment of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia with the use of lasers, taking into account the physical characteristics of these devices and the safety of the therapy. According to the recommendations of the European Urological Association, in the treatment of BPH, laser systems based on laser devices can be used, which are characterized by various physical properties such as wavelength, intensity, power, frequency and duration of the emitted light. An important aspect raised in the study is the safety assessment of these methods in patients using anticoagulants, which are commonly used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
