Improving the lives of patients with BPH

The clinical benefits of the GreenLight™ Laser Therapy experience in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) have been well documented in over 1,000 publications.2 Boston Scientific routinely reviews the scientific literature to keep up-to-date on the latest clinical evidence available regarding the safety and efficacy of GreenLight therapy.

From all of the research we’ve collected, it has been shown that GreenLight Laser Therapy has1:

  • Equivalent outcomes to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
  • Fewer serious adverse events
  • Shorter patient recovery
  • Faster return to stable health

 Plus, GreenLight Laser Therapy may be a more cost-effective treatment option.
