  2. SafeMedTrip.com PVP (Photo-Selective Vaporization of the Prostate) This procedure is also known as Green light HPS, Green light PV, Laser Prostatectomy, Laser TURP etc. and is a new advancement in laser prostate surgery and an alternative to traditional prostate surgery (TURP) for enlarged prostate. This laser treatment of the prostate is a new, minimally invasive surgical technique for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or enlargement of the prostate.

  3. SafeMedTrip.com How is it done? PVP is performed under local, spinal or general anesthesia and takes between 20 and 50 minutes. A very large prostate may take longer time.  During the procedure, the surgeon will use tube called an endoscope to deliver the laser to the prostate vaporizing any excess tissue.  Some patients will be required to be catheterized for up to 24 hours after surgery. Why is it done? PVP is recommended for patients who has urination symptoms resulting from benign prostatic enlargement such as inability to urinate; bleeding through the urethra; kidney damage caused by urine backing up; frequent urinary tract infections; or stones in the bladder. For symptoms like: • Poor urination • Frequency of urination • Night time urination more than two times/night

  4. SafeMedTrip.com This procedure has few advantages over traditional TURP like, quicker recovery, minimal blood loss, minimal side effects, dramatic increase in the urine flow, quick return to normal activities, long lasting symptom relief and usually no need for a catheter after the procedure in most of the cases. Patients referred for consideration of PVP will have a full medical history and prostate examination and would undergo ultrasound, urinary flow test, PSA test, blood investigations etc.

  5. SafeMedTrip.com PhotoselectiveVaporisation of the Prostate (PVP) uses a powerful, green laser to vaporise the prostate and hence produce a reduction in prostate size like the TURP. The green light is selectively absorbed by the red prostate tissue hence photoselective. The laser is delivered through a fibre passed down a telescope (cystoscope) through which the prostate can be viewed. There is minimal bleeding associated with this technique and with small prostates it is possible to leave the patient without a catheter after the operation.As far as complications are concerned, Green Light Laser has fewer complications than traditional prostate surgical treatments, side effects of the treatment still occur. The Green Light laser has been shown to have shorter hospital stays and fewer complications. As with all prostate surgery, sexual side effects may include retrograde ejaculation and in rare instances, erectile dysfunction (impotence, about 1%). Rare episodes of strictures (scar tissue build up) have been noted in urethra (urine tube).
