Re: Holmium Laser vs PVP

I am in the process of researching uro's and their preferred bph
procedures. I have read and been told by uro's in Little Rock and in
Harrison, AR that the Holmium laser is good for stones but not as good
as the greenlight for prostate. If your condition has reached the point
where you are prepared to go ahead with a procedure, everything I have
read and been told points to the greenlight as the preferred device. If
necessary go the extra distance to get the best.

A few weeks ago I posted a question re PVP vs other laser treatments for
BPH. At the time I couldn't remember exactly which laser system my uro
uses (I live in a rural area; the nearest uros who do PVP live hundreds
of miles away). With all the positive feedback here from those who've
had a PVP procedure, I'm sold. However, I'd like to know if anyone has
any feedback, negative or positive on the Holmium laser system as it
applies to BPH. My doc reiterated to me that the end result will be as
good as a green light PVP but of course he hasn't done any PVPs.
