Green Light Laser Prostate Surgery - Prostate Surgery India
Green Light Laser Prostate Surgery
The procedure uses a green laser to vaporize enlarged prostate tissue. The laser energy is delivered through a small fiber inserted through the urethra and into the prostate, where it vaporizes the obstructing tissue. It is considered a safe, effective and relatively fast procedure, and many patients are able to return home the same day with minimal recovery time.
Advantages of Green Light Laser Prostate Surgery:
Green Light Laser Prostate Surgery has several advantages over other surgical treatments for BPH.
Advantages of Green Light Laser Prostate Surgery Include:
- Less Pain
- Less or No Blood Loss
- Shorter Hospital Stay
- Minimal Period of Catheterisation
- Quick Recovery and Return to Normal Activities
- Less than 1% reported cases of erectile dysfunction.
Recovery After Green Light Laser Prostate Surgery:
Recovery after green light laser prostate surgery is relatively quick and easy. Most patients are able to return home the same day after their surgery, and they can usually resume most normal activities within a few weeks.
In the days following your surgery, you rest and avoid strenuous physical activity and lifting. Drink lots of fluids to help prevent urinary tract infections and take medications for pain relief as prescribed. You might experience frequent bathroom visits due to heavy and frequent need to urinate. Avoid constipation by eating a high-fiber diet and taking stool softeners or laxatives if necessary.
After a week or two, your bladder and urethra should begin to heal. You should see an improved reduction of urinary urgency and pain. You should also follow up with your surgeon for a post-operative visit to see how your recovery is going.
If you experience any difficulty in urinating, frequent burning sensations, or any other abnormal symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
Pre-Admission Testing:
The tests required before green light laser prostate surgery can vary depending on your individual medical history and the specific details of your surgery. However, few common tests that may be required include:
A rectal exam is important to evaluate the prostate and access its size and shape. It can detect prostate problems such as enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
This test is used to check for any abnormalities in the prostate, bladder, or urethra. It can detect the size and shape of the prostate, as well as any obstructions in the urethra.
This procedure uses a thin, lighted tube (cystoscope) inserted into the urethra to view the inside of the bladder and urethra. It helps to diagnose problems such as blockage, stones, tumors, or infection.
This blood test measures the levels of PSA in the blood. High levels of PSA can suggest conditions such as prostate cancer or BPH.
Urodynamic tests measure muscle activity in the urinary tract, which can indicate bladder problems such as nerve damage or obstruction.
This test measures the volume and speed of urine during urination, which can indicate voiding problems such as obstruction or shrinking of the bladder.
Depending on the individual patient, doctors may recommend additional imaging tests such as CT scans, MRIs, or X-rays to help them get a better understanding of the prostate.
