GREENLIGHT LASER FOR BPH – A PROSPECTIVE INTERNATIONAL STUDY ON INDICATIONS AND OUTCOMES

 

 

During the past two decades we are witnessing the incorporation of an increasing number minimal invasive treatments for BPH. Laser treatment is truly on the rise, most probably due to technical refinements of the technology and refinement of endoscopic equipment.

There are some fundamental (institutional) differences, however, concerning indication for surgery, experience, technique used and maybe outcomes. Moreover specific factors may influence treatment related morbidity. In this prospective study we will study on a global base the indications and outcomes of HPS greenlight laser treatment for BPH. Each centre participating in this project will include during a one-year period the patients treated at their site.
