Chronic Dysuria Associated With Greenlight Laser Vaporization of the Prostate and its Prompt Resolution After Holmium Laser Ablation of Prostatic Fossa

Intractable dysuria (painful urination) several months after Greenlight laser transurethral resection of prostate (PVP) (see video below) is a well-known occurrence that may affect some men. We present a patient who suffered dysuria for four months after Greenlight vaporization but had prompt resolution after undergoing holmium laser ablation of the prostatic fossa. A possible explanation is discussed.
