For years doctors have been looking for new and better ways to provide men with the best possible outcomes from their BPH therapy. The TURP (TransUrethral Resection of the Prostate) has been the mainstay surgical treatment for BPH for many decades. Although effective in opening up a channel in an obstructed prostatic urethra, the procedure had an unacceptably high level of morbidity that has driven companies to develop new and better alternatives.
Many therapies for treating BPH have come and gone over the years. For a while there was considerable interest by urologists in the use of radio-frequency current (RF) or microwaves to treat BPH, but these therapies had the disadvantages of requiring considerable catheterization periods following the procedure and sometimes causing pain on urination and other bothersome effects during the several month healing process.
At this time Lasers appear to have emerged as the ideal tool for surgeons to treat BPH while minimizing discomfort and recovery time while also delivering good clinical outcomes.
However, not all lasers are the same. In this website you will find useful information to help you understand the differences and how to choose which laser is best for you.
