GreenLight Laser Articles

Greenlight laser prostate vaporization is considered a valid alternative to transurethral prostate resection (TURP) for patient with LUTS due to BPH. The current review highlights the current evidence on greenlight technique and current state of-the-art.

Photoselective laser vaporization of the prostate (PVP) is one of the most popular techniques of treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The aim of this study was to assess the risk of thermal damage to the external urethral sphincter during PVP at distal part of prostatic urethra.

To evaluate the outcome in patients undergoing photoselective vaporization of the prostate for benign prostatic obstruction as part of the Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society Global GreenLight Laser Study.

Although the conventional, monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has proven to be an effective and relatively safe treatment for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), many new endoscopic technologies have been introduced to treat BPH.

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of a median lobe (ML) on complications and functional results after 4 years of GreenLight photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP).

Many clinical trials and meta-analyses have examined vaporization with different energy instruments has been recognized by the American Urological Association (AUA) and the European Association of Urology (EAU) as a promising treatment for benign prostate hyperplasia.

OBJECTIVE - The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate long-term risk factors for reintervention after photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP).

MATERIALS AND METHODS - In total, 566 consecutive patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) underwent PVP between February 2005 and April 2011.

To compare the efficacy, safety, Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I), and complications rates after 180-W GreenLight laser (180-W GL laser) standard and anatomical photoselective vaporization (sPVP and aPVP).

To evaluate the feasibility and safety of photoselective vaporization for prostate (PVP) with a 180-W XPS Greenlight laser as day surgery in the Chinese population. We retrospectively collected 114 cases undergoing the day surgery PVP and 198 cases undergoing conventional inpatient surgery PVP from April 2017 to March 2020.
