Laser PVP surgery
About this test
Laser PVP surgery is a minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate. The procedure uses a laser to perform photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP). During laser PVP surgery, a tube with an imaging system (cystoscope) is inserted into the penis. A surgeon places a laser through the cystoscope to burn away excess tissue blocking urine flow through the prostate.
