The following video provides useful information for those men scheduled to have a Greenlight laser prostatectomy for the management of urine symptoms which are due to benign prostate enlargement (BPH). What to expect before during and after the surgery is covered which will hopefully clarify what can be expected. If you have any questions or comments please leave them below in the dialogue box or if await surgery at The Prostate Clinic just call through to our office. Good luck!
Just a note of appreciation for this video… I watched it prior to my Greenlight procedure 4 days ago… all the information in the video accurate and useful…
I had complete urinary obstruction immediately after a hernia surgery. I had a catheter for 5 months. It took 4 urologists 5 months to figure out that 1) I had BPH and 2) I had prostate cancer. I had greenlight as soon as possible. I had a catheter for 3 days over a holiday. Catheter came out and I could pee! It took 8 weeks to get my bladder back to normal.
If you know how to remove a prostate without causing long term erectal dysfunction and long term incontinence, PLEASE make this more well known! The severe incontinence alone has destroyed my life.
I am going for this surgery relatively soon and was wondering if the urethra stays in tack or does the laser obliterate that as well and what about leakage after the recovery time has been completed.? Thank you.
Per the results of my cystoscopy, I have a large median lobe that is creating an obstruction (a intravesical prostatic protrusion I believe is called). Would that be removed as part of a typical green light procedure or would another treatment procedure like Rezum be better?
Very clear and understandable explanation. Although I have read that there is a risk of having incontinence after the surgery, I mean not just after, but as an unwanted side effect that may be permanent. Is that so? If so in what percentage? Thanks
Firstly, very lucid down to earth explanation. Thank you! Question - most of my symptoms are obstructive not irritative. Immediately - first week - post op should I expect there to be a lot of urgency and frequency or "just" dysuria?
Why The doctors don't wanna use this method to treat prostatitis? , After all prostatitis also cause exacly the same urinal problems (LUTS) as BPH. So many people who suffer prostatitis are sentenced to taking harmful antibiotics for many months or even years and yet the disease returns 😥
Year old...things seem better and advanced now.
I am also type 2 diabetic are there any concerns that I should be worried about with this surgery? Secondly, is there a possibility of having too much prostate removal or will the doctor only remove the necessary overgrowth tissue of the prostate? Thank you and I am quite nervous.
Thank you for the information
Great presentation! very thorough and educational! Thank you.
Very good information about proster.thanks again.
Very informative doctor!!!
I am due to have one of these surgeries when it can be arranged. Thanks for the great explanation.
Very imformative. I am 65, I have a long history of issues EPH since my early 40s. Lately it has worsened dramatically.
I have had the rezume procedure 4yrs ago it seems to be close to same steps to follow experience wise.But a bit more aggressive😬 I guess I worry about the gate opened wide and I'm pissin on myself. Or down the road having to resort to self catheterization I did experience the retrograde when on the Flomax I'm 61 I told my doc I guess I'm old enough I dried up he said a side effect of Flomax I said good I thought I was a kid again. Lol it was explained it would be a dry ride...I said I was done making my family and I wasn't into making movies. I didn't need it. Right?? No fuss no mess. And I know there's no answers to what might be down the road. I'd just hope this fixes things a bit longer than my experience with rezume. Thank you for posting this information it is what it is..I just try to stay positive..
Dr. Chabert, at
Thanks for the video! Two questions which you answered when I queried in response to your video about Rezum that I'd like to ask about Green Light: what fr. size please is the instrument that is inserted in the urethra? Also, if a man is already self catheterizing (due to BPH obstruction) can he avoid the post op indwelling cath? Thank you.
Hello Doc, thanks so much for this video. Just a question, is this procedure for enlarged prostate or prostate cancer treatment? Thanks
