Green Light laser Risk percentages

>From what I have read or heard, my guess is that the risk from Green
Light laser prostatectomy is 1% impotence, 30% retrograde ejaculation,
20 % urethral constriction, and that on average, you have to do it
again after 5 years. Is this correct? Are there members who can give
me a more informed opinion?

Also, that for one month after the surgery, one may not have sex, and
will be put on tamsulosin and dutasteride and antibiotic.

Is this correct? Is this at the moment the procedure with the lowest
risk, and preferable to self-catheterization and medication?

Thanks.

>From what I hear, perhaps more like 100% retro if done properly. That
is, not attempt to save the neck and prevent retro. May need to be
done frequently than five years if retro is avoided.

All other questions are relative. How important is each item? I
couldn't take the medication. To me self-catheterization was out of
the question. I did not and do not consider retro to be all that
important.
