Greenlight laser PVP surgery

Posted by MarkMD1112 @mahmudhasan, Jul 14, 2023

Has anyone had Greenlight laser PVP (photosynthetic vaporization of prostate) surgery for bladder neck obstruction? If so, (1) when did you have it?, (2) what was your experience in the short term (up to 6 months) after surgery? and (3) what has been your experience after the first 6 months? Any candid comments, insights, and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am 76 yr old. I am scheduled for Greenlight laser therapy for BPH. I am hoping to hear others experience with this surgery.

@petr I had it done 21 years ago. No significant down time. Flow has decreased over the years but nothing that requires additional treatment. Healing process was not too long, maybe 4 weeks. I don't think it is considered "state of the art" anymore.
