How long does the procedure take?

Since both eyes are usually treated during the same appointment, you will be in the laser suite for approximately 20 minutes. The surgery itself typically requires less than two minutes per eye.

It is usually about 2.5-3.5 hours. Each case is different due to the size of the prostate and different anatomy. This is comparable to the average time of open surgery.

In most cases the actual procedure takes about 15-20 minutes or less. Things that prolong the procedure are getting the patient on and off of the table, adequately sedated, etc. So on average, it’s usually 30-45 minutes from when the family goes out to the waiting room and I come talk to them after we’re done.
