GreenLight Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate: One Laser for Different Prostate Sizes

Predictors of re-intervention after greenlight laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate: multicenter long/mid-term follow-up experience

“…Current guidelines consider greenlight laser as an alternative to TURP in men with moderate-to-severe LUTS and a prostate volume of 30-80 mL, in light of their comparable short-and mid-term results [3,7] . Moreover, some evidence is emerging supporting the use of greenlight laser also for large volume prostates and in men on anticoagulation or with high cardiovascular risk [8][9][10][11] . According to the current literature, the major limitation of greenlight is the absence of long-term follow-up (≥ 36 months) data to evaluate the outcome, the rate of re-intervention, and patient satisfaction.…”
