Introduction and objectives: Laser prostatectomy has become an increasingly popular and effective alternative to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).-. This study focuses on assessing the safety, efficacy, and postoperative complications of Transurethral Focal Laser Ablation of Prostatic Adenoma (TU-FLAP) versus M-TURP in managing BPH, with a 12-month monitoring. Patients and Methods: 60 BPH cases meeting the inclusion criteria have randomly been assigned into 2 equal groups to undergo either TU-FLAP or M-TURP. Outcomes have been assessed using IPSS, QoL, Qmax, operative time, catheterization ,duration of hospital stay, PVR, PSA, and residual prostate volume. Safety was evaluated based on perioperative and postoperative complications.
