How I Do It: GreenLight XPS 180W photoselective vaporization of the prostate.

The objectives of this article are to breakdown some of the basic steps for the novice user of GL-PVP, as well as impart some 'pearls' for the more experienced user. Nothing can replace hands-on experience for any surgery. The GL-PVP is unique in that there are guides such as this and previous articles, an excellent simulation device (GreenLight SIM), and mentoring programs in place. The success of many surgeries has been the standardization of the procedure. Performing GL-PVP should not be haphazard. A surgical plan based on prostate anatomy and size, cystoscopic appearance, and application of routinized techniques should yield consistent and optimal surgical outcomes.
