Orange Coast Urology Offers Advanced In-Office Patient EVOLVE(R) Laser Prostate Treatment
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Men in theLos Angeles
area who suffer from the symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate now
have the option of out-patient, in-office treatment to cure the problem.
Orange Coast Urology ofHuntington Beach is now offering the LIFE(TM) (Laser
Induced Flow Enhancement) procedure using the EVOLVE(R) Laser System in their
office. The LIFE(TM) procedure is a breakthrough laser treatment for benign
prostate hyperplasia (BPH) that quickly and gently removes blocking prostate
tissue without bleeding.
"Too many men suffer with the symptoms of frequent or difficult urination
that are caused by a benign enlargement of the prostate. Every second man over
60 and nearly every man over 80 experience the problem in one form or
another," says Dr. Ronald F. Gilbert of Orange Coast Urology. "Men are often
reluctant to seek treatment because they think that the treatment options are
painful and require extensive surgical procedures. However, the innovative
LIFE(TM) (Laser Induced Flow Enhancement) laser treatment from biolitec allows
us to vaporize prostate tissue that is blocking the urinary tract in a simple,
in-office treatment that allows them to return home the same day as treatment
with a short recovery time and minimal postoperative risks. The treatment is
usually covered by insurance with an office visit co-pay."
biolitec's LIFE(TM) therapy is performed under local anaesthesia, thus
avoiding the risks associated with a spinal or general anaesthesia, and can be
completed in as little as 15 to 30 minutes. Patients can go home the day of
the procedure and catheters, when needed, are typically removed within 48
hours.
"The advancement offered by the LIFE(TM) procedure means that men can now
easily treat what is one of the most common, and frustrating, medical
conditions," adds Dr. Gilbert. "We're excited to bring this groundbreaking
treatment to theHuntington Beach area and hope that those who suffer from BPH
will take advantage of this simple but life changing procedure."
