Hi Oliverio
Green light laser is usually abbreviated to PVP in this newsgroup.  If you
look back you will see quite a few recent posts detailing experiences,
including mine.
To find out more about the procedure you could look at this site, my own
Uro's website:
http://www.london-urology.co.uk/index.html
If you are in the UK Mr Muir is well worth considering....
Best wishes
Huw

Oliverio...

Do a search on this newsgroup for the following phrases...PVP
(Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate), Green Light Laser for
prostate, or KTP laser for the prostate.  There is a wealth of
information on this news group as well on the web.  I had mine Feb 23,
05 and have reported on this newsgroup.  Be happy to answer any
questions.  chockman@canby.com

My uro thinks I am a candidate for this

I am 3 weeks post. Just starting to feel myself. I may have picked u
some virus in the hospital that made we feel weak, but not sure. M
stream is good, no leakage, getting up a liittle less at nigh. Hav
not had sex yet because of the wekness

I had mine on June 2nd at NY Hospital and it went well with little to no side
effects.

Recommend it highly.

As other have said it usually refers to PVP.
