The most modern laser treatment for enlarged prostate

Patients with an enlarged prostate have the option of a safe, effective and simple treatment using the revolutionary GREEN LIGHT laser system.

During treatment, the laser beam removes the excess tissue from the prostate quickly and precisely, freeing the urinary canal and recovering the natural urine flow. The entire treatment is safe, effective and simple, without the risk of damage to the surrounding tissues and blood vessels. The patient can immediately feel the results such as facilitated urination, unlike treatments with other minimally invasive procedures in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. The advantages of laser treatment with respect to the classic surgical interventions are: no surgical incision and no bleeding; after the intervention only 30% of patients are in need of catheter; the patient can feel relief from the symptoms the same day; no risk of erectile dysfunction and postoperative impotence. During the intervention the doctor enters the prostatic urethra with a cystoscope, near the obstruction. The surrounding tissue heats and evaporates with a pulsating light. The treatment lasts until the urinary canal is released. In some cases a temporary catheter is inserted that will allow bladder vacation. The entire intervention lasts about an hour. Two days after the intervention the patient is discharged from hospital and in 3 days he/she can return to the daily activities.
