Key Findings

The evidence reviewed in this document suggested a similar clinical efficacy comparing B-TURP and M-TURP, but B-TURP may be associated with fewer adverse events. There was no evidence identified comparing B-TURP with GreenLight laser treatment. No cost-effectiveness evidence on B-TURP compared with M-TURP or GreenLight laser treatment was identified. Due to the various limitations of the body evidence, the findings of the document should be interpreted with caution.
