This technique does not remove all of the adenomatous tissue, therefore, over the years it may grow back causing a new obstruction. Although Green Laser offers long-lasting results, it is possible that, over time, the remaining prostate tissue may continue to grow, which could lead to a recurrence of symptoms. The likelihood of recurrence depends on factors such as the patient's age, the initial size of the prostate and the technique used during surgery.
To minimize the risk of recurrence, regular medical follow-up after treatment is essential. This allows any changes in prostate function to be detected and any symptoms that may recur to be addressed in a timely manner.
