HSHS HOLY FAMILY HOSPITAL: Non-invasive Laser Procedure Now Available at Local HSHS Hospital

Healthnews

HSHS Holy Family Hospital issued the following announcement on Sept. 20.

HSHS Holy Family Hospital is now offering photoreactive vaporization of the prostate (PVP). Laser PVP surgery is a minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate. PVP is a faster recovery and immediate symptom relief procedure now being offered to the local community.

PVP is a non-invasive procedure that uses a laser to remove excess tissue that is blocking urine flow through the prostate. This type of surgery avoids any cutting or scrapping of the tissue. A PVP procedure is also the best option for men who have blood-clotting conditions or those who may take blood thinners.

“This procedure provides a quick recovery with reduced pain and minimal side effects,” said David Bitzer, MD, board certified urologist for HSHS Medical Group. “This non-invasive procedure doesn’t require any incisions and allows for most patients to be released within 24 hours.”
