Green Light Laser Surgery

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate, is a common condition in men as they age. It can cause bothersome urinary symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty starting or stopping the urine stream. At Urology Specialists of Ohio, our experienced urologists offer a variety of treatment options for BPH, including GreenLight laser surgery, a minimally invasive procedure with proven effectiveness.

Understanding GreenLight Laser Surgery for BPH

GreenLight laser surgery utilizes a high-powered laser beam to remove excess prostate tissue precisely. The laser energy vaporizes the targeted prostate tissue, relieving pressure on the urethra and improving urine flow. GreenLight laser surgery is a minimally invasive procedure compared to traditional surgical options.

Benefits of GreenLight Laser Surgery for BPH

GreenLight laser surgery offers several advantages over traditional BPH treatments, including:

• Minimally invasive: GreenLight laser surgery uses a laser fiber inserted through the urethra, avoiding external incisions.
• Reduced bleeding: The laser energy seals blood vessels during tissue removal, minimizing blood loss.
• Shorter hospital stay: GreenLight laser surgery is often performed on an outpatient basis or may require a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional surgery.
• Faster recovery: Patients typically experience a quicker recovery with less discomfort compared to open surgery.
• Reduced risk of side effects: GreenLight laser surgery has a lower risk of complications like urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction compared to some traditional methods.
• Durable results: GreenLight laser surgery offers long-lasting relief from BPH symptoms.

Is GreenLight Laser Surgery Right for You?

GreenLight laser surgery may not be suitable for everyone with BPH. Our urologists at Urology Specialists of Ohio will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if GreenLight laser surgery is the most appropriate treatment option for you. This evaluation may involve a physical exam, discussion of your symptoms, and urinary flow studies.
