Dr. Donald Sonn A Remarkable Technology
2
  • Dr. Donald Sonn is a physician and urologist who
    practices at the Urology Group of Western New
    England in Springfield, Massachusetts. He is a
    1991 graduate of the Albert Einstein College of
    Medicine at Yeshiva University.

  • He is trained in using the GreenLight HPS laser
    for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or
    BPH, an enlarged prostate gland. "It's a
    remarkable technology," Dr. Donald Sonn said.
    GreenLight Laser Therapy allows him to treat the
    condition with a small fiber that is inserted
    into the patient's urethra through a cystoscope.
    He says that the fiber delivers laser energy that
    heats up the prostate tissue and actually
    vaporizes it.

  • Advocates like Dr. Donald Sonn say that
    GreenLight Laser Therapy is as effective as the
    traditional way of treating BPH, but with fewer
    side effects. "With the GreenLight laser, it's
    outpatient," he says. "They can actually go home
    the same day." In most cases an overnight stay in
    the hospital is not necessary, and when it is it
    is often because the patient has other medical
    conditions, or is frail.

5
  • Many physicians, like Dr. Donald Sonn, are
    enthusiastic about GreenLight Laser Therapy as a
    treatment for BPH. They say that while the
    surgery is best done in an operating room, it can
    be done with a spinal anesthesia, a regional
    anesthesia sometimes called a spinal block. A
    general anesthesia is sometimes used. There is no
    blood loss, and in some cases patients are able
    to go home without a catheter.

Dr. Donald Sonn completed a Surgical Residency
and a Urology Residency at the Long Island Jewish
Medical Center in 1997.
