Abstract:
The technical recommendations of an international group of experts on photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP; GreenLight PV) for benign prostatic hyperplasia are described. Their experience stems from the treatment of over 3500 patients at five centres in Europe and the United States. The objectives of this physician-based initiative are to optimize the results achieved with PVP by standardizing the procedure, as well as to recommend training requirements.
