GreenLight™ Laser PVP
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) Treatment
GreenLight™ Laser PVP (Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate) is a procedure used in the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), an enlargement of the prostate gland resulting in the urethral restriction. The prostate is a small gland circling the urethra immediately below the neck of the bladder. It has a vital function in the male reproductive system by secreting a fluid into the urethra during ejaculation
GreenLight™ Laser Surgery Procedure
How is this BPH Treatment done?
GreenLight™ Laser PVP is an outpatient procedure performed by urologist Dr. Alejandro Lira Dale. The anesthesia can be general, spinal, or nerve-blocking along with sedation. We inserts a cystoscope (a tube equipped with a light) through the urethra to the prostate gland. A thin fiber is run through the cystoscope and placed in the urethra adjacent to the obstruction. Pulses of light radiate from the end of the fiber as we direct them towards the areas of overgrowth. The light is quickly absorbed by the blood which becomes heated to the point that nearby tissues are vaporized. We continue applying this laser light until the destruction of tissue reduces the restriction on the urethra. As the tissue is being vaporized the heat seals off the blood vessels, resulting in less bleeding than in other treatment options. A temporary catheter is often inserted to allow urine to drain from the bladder. The procedure takes approximately one hour.
