Laser Procedure for Enlarged Prostate Gets Green Light at Manatee Memorial Hospital
In the traditional procedure to correct benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), called transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), surgeons perform an open procedure that can carry risks such as blood loss and complications with anesthesia. It also requires a two- to three-day hospital stay, and many patients need a catheter when they leave the hospital. The GreenLight PVPTM Laser Procedure offers patients an effective treatment option for BPH that can reduce the complications or inconveniences that may be experienced with traditional surgery. Manatee Memorial Hospital is the first hospital in Bradenton to offer advanced laser technology for the treatment of BPH.

Urologist G. Bino Rucker, MD, was the first surgeon to use the GreenLight PVP Laser at Manatee Memorial Hospital. "When I compare GreenLight to the traditional surgery for BPH, I tell a patient: 'I can do this new procedure and you will have less blood loss. You'll do it as an outpatient, and I'll take out the catheter in the recovery room.' We now have an option that is 10 times better than what we had. That's what this procedure is all about," he says. During the surgery, a thin instrument called a cystoscope is inserted into the bladder and prostate. A thin fiber is threaded through the scope to transfer laser energy that vaporizes the enlarged prostate tissue. There is no incision so there is no worry about blood loss. (There is also no need for patients to temporarily stop any blood-thinning medications they may be taking.) Patients can return home the day of surgery and resume normal activity within a week. Like TURP, the procedure does not affect sexual function.
Most patients with enlarged prostates are candidates for the GreenLight PVP Laser Procedure. However, some patients may be restricted. "This technique can't be used if the prostate is too large, too infected or if cancer is present," Dr. Rucker says. Dr. Rucker was involved in bringing this technology to Manatee Memorial, recognizing the unprecedented benefits that would become available to his BPH patients. "My whole focus in the community is to keep the hospital on the cutting edge," he says. "Our theme is to do things in a minimally invasive manner. That's the road that should be followed in healthcare. That's good for patients because it means less inconvenience for them." To schedule an appointment with Dr. Rucker, please call 941-752-1553.
