Green Light is a minimally invasive treatment option that combines the traditional TURP procedure (transurethral resection of the prostate) with fewer side effects, quicker recovery and shorter periods of catheterization.
This is carried out as a day case (unless an overnight stay is clinically appropriate) and the procedure usually lasts 45 minutes.
For more information on Green Light visit the Laser Associates website which is a network of urological surgeons who are highly experienced users of GreenLight™.
