Prostate Laser Surgery

Prostate laser surgery is a minimally invasive treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) that uses laser energy to vaporize or enucleate excess prostate tissue, improving urine flow with less bleeding and faster recovery than traditional TURP.

GreenLight (PVP) Photoselective vaporization Small-medium prostates 3-5 days
