PVP Greenlight Laser Vaporization of Prostate

The PVP (Photoselective Vaporization of Prostate) or Greenlight Laser Vaporization of the enlarged prostate is a minimally invasive treatment for prostate problem that combines the effectiveness of  "Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate" (TURP) with fewer side effects.

Greenlight PVP employs a specially designed laser light source and fiber optic delivery system to deliver laser energy onto the prostate from within the gland to create a cavity similar to TURP immediately post-operative. The PVP Greenlight laser seals blood vessels as it vaporizes the prostate tissue resulting in less bleeding.

Most patients return home a day after the PVP Greenlight Vaporization of the enlarged prostate and can return to normal, non-strenuous activities within days. There is little urinary symptom after PVP Greenlight vaporization of prostate. There is no prolonged catheterisation after PVP Greenlight vaporization of prostate.

The advantages of the PVP Greenlight Vaporization of Prostate are:

  • Rapid urine flow improvement
  • Quick return to normal activities
  • Virtually bloodless procedure
  • Short catheterisation
  • Long lasting symptom relief

Over 200,000 PVP Greenlight vaporization of prostate procedures have been performed worldwide by surgeons certified to carry out the procedure. We are certified to perform PVP Greenlight vaporization of prostate.
