What is the Green Light Laser?

The Green Light Laser is a cutting-edge medical technology used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate. This minimally invasive procedure involves the use of a high-powered laser to vaporize excess prostate tissue, thereby alleviating urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty initiating and maintaining urination, and weak urine flow.

Green Light Laser treatment is known for its precision, reducing the risk of complications and promoting a faster recovery compared to traditional surgical methods. It provides effective and long-lasting relief, allowing patients to resume normal activities with minimal downtime.

What does the green light laser treat?

Frequent urination (day and night)
Weak and interrupted urine stream
Urine leak or drip

The green light laser treatment process

On the day of treatment, the patient is given anesthesia, typically spinal or general, to ensure comfort. The urologist then inserts a cystoscope through the urethra to access the prostate. The Green Light Laser is passed through the cystoscope, where it emits a high-powered green laser to precisely vaporize the excess prostate tissue causing the blockage. The entire procedure usually takes around 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the prostate and the extent of the enlargement.

The green light laser treatment process

Recovery from green light laser treatment is generally quick. Most patients can return home the same day or the next day after the procedure. It's common to experience some mild symptoms, such as mild bleeding, urinary urgency, or discomfort when urinating, which usually go away within a few weeks. Full recovery, where patients experience significant relief from urinary symptoms, usually occurs within 2 to 4 weeks, allowing them to resume normal activities and enjoy a better quality of life.

What is Green Light Laser Treatment?

Green light laser therapy is primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is an enlargement of the prostate gland. This minimally invasive procedure uses a high-powered laser to vaporize and remove excess prostate tissue, thereby improving urine flow and reducing urinary symptoms associated with BPH. The green light laser is chosen for its precision and lower risk of bleeding, making it a safer option for patients who are taking blood-thinning medications or who have a higher risk of bleeding. The recovery time is often shorter compared to traditional surgical methods, allowing patients to resume normal activities more quickly.

Is the green light better than Turp?

The GreenLight laser and Transurethral Prostate Resection (TURP) are effective treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but they have key differences that may make the GreenLight laser a better option for some patients:

Minimally invasive: The GreenLight laser is less invasive than TURP, resulting in less pain and faster recovery times.

Reduced bleeding: The GreenLight laser has a lower risk of bleeding compared to TURP, making it safer for patients receiving blood thinners.

Hospital stay: Patients who undergo the GreenLight laser often experience shorter hospital stays and can return to normal activities faster than those who have TURP.

Effectiveness: Both procedures effectively alleviate urinary symptoms caused by BPH, but the GreenLight laser is often preferred for its precision and reduced side effects.

Recovery: The GreenLight laser recovery period is generally shorter, with fewer complications and a faster return to daily activities.

Overall, the GreenLight laser is often considered a better option than TURP for patients seeking a minimally invasive procedure with reduced bleeding and a faster recovery. However, the choice between the two should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider based on individual medical conditions and preferences.

How long does green light surgery last?

Green light laser surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) usually lasts 60 to 90 minutes. The duration may vary depending on the size of the prostate and the patient's specific circumstances.

Is green light laser therapy safe?

Yes, GreenLight laser therapy is considered a safe and effective treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This minimally invasive procedure reduces excess prostate tissue using a high-powered laser, leading to better urine flow and a reduction in urinary symptoms. The therapy is associated with less bleeding, making it safer for patients receiving blood thinners, and usually results in less pain and a faster recovery compared to traditional surgeries such as TURP. In addition, it has a lower risk of complications such as infections and urinary incontinence, and patients often experience shorter hospital stays and a quick return to normal activities.
