Can We Predict the Outcome of 532 nm Laser Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate? Time to Event Analysis

GreenLight (532 nm laser) photoselective vaporization of the prostate seems to be safe and effective for lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia. A long lasting, successful outcome is predictable. With careful surveillance during year 1 postoperatively and early intervention for adverse events, a sustainable functional outcome could be achieved without re-treatment.
