Greenlight PVP – Summary
Gregg R. Eure, MD, FACS, outlines the use of GreenLight laser therapy in urology, focusing on its advantages and technique. In this 8-minute presentation, he shares that this laser therapy is efficient, with treatments often lasting under an hour and offering quicker recovery compared to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Dr. Eure shares that the GreenLight laser is ideal for underwater procedures, comparing it to different laser types, such as thulium and holmium lasers, which are primarily used for stone treatment. He concludes the presentation with practical tips, including managing anticoagulated patients, avoiding use in radiated tissue, and suggestions for patient counseling regarding postoperative expectations.
