✦ Synopsis

Introduction: Laser vaporization of the prostate with the GreenLight laser has emerged as a treatment alternative to TURP. Materials and methods: An analysis of the published data of our center was performed to assess the safety, the efficacy and the long-term results of the technique.

Results: GreenLight laser vaporization of the prostate is characterized by an outstanding intraoperative safety, regardless of oral anticoagulation or prostate size. The early and midterm functional outcome are comparable to TURP, however the data lack randomization.

Conclusions: Laser vaporization of the prostate with the GreenLight laser is a safe and effective treatment modality for patients with bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostate enlargement and has gained wide acceptance in the urological community.
