GreenLight Laser Therapy for BPH

Definition

GreenLight laser therapy for BPH is a minimally invasive medical treatment that uses a high-powered laser to remove excess prostate tissue, thereby relieving urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The procedure involves the insertion of a thin fiber-optic device into the urethra, which delivers precise laser energy to vaporize the obstructing prostate tissue without causing significant damage to surrounding structures.
