Biography

Chief of the Urology and Andrology service at Hesperia Hospital (MO). We have acquired the most advanced robotic and laser technology for the treatment of tumors and benign prostate diseases. I created a Urooncounit for the treatment of urologic carcinomas with minimally invasive surgical techniques. I train about 100 colleagues each year in the use of Green Laser technology, male incontinence correction techniques, and prosthetic penile surgery. To date, I have performed 18,463 laparoscopic, endoscopic, microsurgical and prosthetic surgeries.

GreenLight: Anatomical Vaporization. A new gold standard?

Green laser is a new surgical technique used for BPH therapy and recognized in the European guidelines as a first choice in patients at high risk of bleeding. This technique is becoming commonplace with a 40% increase in patients treated worldwide last year. The power of the Green laser is linked to its technical-physical characteristics: the laser works on a wavelength of 532nm and is therefore able to interact with hemoglobin, ensuring excellent hemostasis quality. The side-fire feature of the laser fiber also enables interaction with the prostate tissue with 90-degree inclination so as to achieve hemostasis quickly and under vision. The excellent view also allows you to perform a targeted action with a decrease in the risk of incontinence and impotence. The green laser is very versatile and we currently know at least 4 techniques for its use.
