Re: Holmium Laser vs PVP
| bruferg@cox.net | 15 Oct 2005 00:59 |
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.
