What is a GreenLight procedure 

GreenLight laser therapy is a procedure performed with a small fiber introduced into the urethra with a cystoscope, a flexible scope with a camera on the end. The fiber delivers high power laser energy which heats up the prostate tissue, leading to tissue vaporization. The GreenLight laser procedure is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. Most patients can go home the same day of surgery, though some may need to stay overnight. It has been shown to improve symptoms of BPH, urinary flow, retention of urine and most importantly quality of life. If you or a loved one are having difficulty with BPH and the effects it has on your quality of life make an appointment to discuss the GreenLight Laser with one of our many qualified Urologists.
