Laser Prostate Surgery

Definition

Laser prostate surgery is a minimally invasive medical treatment that utilizes laser energy to remove or shrink excess prostate tissue, thereby relieving urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This procedure can be performed using various laser techniques, such as photoselective vaporization, holmium laser enucleation, or GreenLight laser therapy.
