GreenLight™ Laser Therapy for BPH

Providing rapid relief of symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)

GreenLight™ Laser Therapy is an advanced laser procedure that removes excess prostate tissue causing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate. Compared with traditional surgical treatments, GreenLight™ Laser Therapy often offers a shorter hospital stay, reduced catheterization time, less bleeding, and a faster recovery.

What is GreenLight Laser Therapy?

GreenLight Laser Therapy is an outpatient treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that uses advanced laser technology to remove excess prostate tissue and help restore natural urine flow—often within 24 hours. Recovery and results may vary depending on a patient’s medical history, overall health, and other individual factors. The procedure is typically performed as a same-day surgery, and most patients do not require an overnight hospital stay.

GreenLight Laser Therapy is an option even if you’re on anticoagulants or blood thinners.[1] Or if you have an implanted pacemaker, defibrillator or neurostimulator.[2]

GreenLight™ Laser Therapy benefits

GreenLight Laser Therapy offers several advantages compared with traditional surgery:

  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Shorter catheterization time
  • Less bleeding
  • Faster recovery

How long does it take until symptoms are relieved?

Most patients experience relief from symptoms and improved urine flow within 24 hours of the procedure. However, individual results and recovery may vary depending on medical history, overall health, and other factors. GreenLight Laser Therapy has demonstrated durable results for up to five years.
