Greenlight Laser for BPH

Greenlight laser procedure is a surgical procedure performed in a surgical center or hospital setting under anesthesia.  Most men can go home the same day or the next day after the procedure. Some men need to stay in the hospital for 1-3 days after this procedure.  The catheter is usually removed within 1-7 days after the procedure, depending on the individual patient characteristics.

Greenlight laser can be performed in select men who cannot stop aspirin or Plavix.
