Information on Green Laser Surgery, GA

My husband recently diagnosed w/ Prostate Cancer-contained, gleason score 6, PSA 5. We're pursuing options. Just heard about Green Laser-would love any info on that or other options-We live in Georgia (Macon), He is 62 and in good health. ( a little overweight, and slightly high blood pressure, but other than that-diagnosed as good by his doctor. We've been leaning toward Robotic Surgery, and I just heard about this-A little confused about the differences, benefits, downside, etc.

I am not a doctor, but it is my understanding that the Greenlight laser treatment is used for enlarged prostates and not cancerous ones.

Good luck.
