Keywords: Laser; BPO; TURP; RCT EN Laser BPO TURP RCT 4507 4508 2 11/22/21 20211201 NES 211201 Dear Editor, The ability of lasers to reduce the surgical morbidity and especially the risk of perioperative bleeding observed with Open Prostatectomy (OP) and Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) [[1]] has concentrated most of the interest in functional urology over the past decades. As the number patients requiring antithrombotic medications is dramatically increasing, [[8]] the question whether or not lasers could be a real game changer for patients under continuous oral anticoagulation should be rigorously answered with a dedicated RCT.
