Figure 1 Comparison of BPH treatments: Efficacy

Figure 2 Comparison of BPH treatments: Overall patient complications

Based on Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), PK TURP has consistently been shown to deliver Gold Standard efficacy equal to traditional Monopolar TURP while reducing overall complications^1-7. Making PK TURP the Safest and most Effective treatment for BPH.
