Greenlight Laser Therapy  

The GreenLight™ Laser Therapy is a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), more commonly known as an enlarged prostate. This is a common, non-cancerous condition where the prostate gland slowly grows, causing pressure on the urethra. GreenLight Laser Therapy combines the effectiveness of the traditional surgical procedure known as “Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate” (TURP) with fewer side effects.

GreenLight is suitable for most patients with an enlarged prostate. With over 300,000 procedures performed worldwide, the GreenLight procedure is creating a new standard of care – a standard that offers freedom from enlarged prostate symptoms. Most patients return home a few short hours after the procedure and can return to normal, non-strenuous activities within days.

The GreenLight laser system delivers the ultimate BPH solution - free from urinary symptoms, free from compromise, free to go!

The GreenLight Solution:

  • Outpatient procedure in otherwise healthy patients
  • Long lasting symptom relief
  • Rapid urine flow improvement
  • Quick return to normal activities
  • Less than 1% reported cases of erectile dysfunction
  • Over 300,000 procedures worldwide
  • Virtually bloodless procedure
  • If a catheter is required, it is typically removed in
    less than 24 hours

Understanding the Prostate

Understanding the Prostate

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system. The prostate secretes fluid that carries sperm. It surrounds the urethra, the canal which carries urine from the bladder out of the body. With age and time, the prostate enlarges causing pressure on the urethra, similar to a clamp on a garden hose. This causes problems with urination.
