Laser prostatectomy is used in the treatment of a number of prostate-related conditions, most usually benign prostatic hypertrophy or BPH, a condition in which the prostate gland has enlarged, making it difficult to urinate.

There is no guarantee that laser surgery will help. It depends very much on your particular situation, the fused vertebrae, and your physical condition and age. A discussion with the physician can help shed more light on the subject.

Open prostatectomy is a procedure for removal of an enlarged prostate gland
Partial prostatectomy is an open surgery to remove part of the prostate gland, leaving the posterior portion intact. Partial prostatectomy is usually performed through an incision in the lower abdomen (retropubic prostatectomy). Open prostatectomy is a surgery to remove all or part of the prostate by making an incision in the patient's lower abdomen or perineum. Open prostatectomy can be either a partial or radical procedure. Radical prostatectomy is an pen surgery to remove the entire prostate gland along with nearby tissues such as the seminal vesicles. Radical prostatectomy can be performed through an incision either in the lower abdomen (retropubic prostatectomy) or in the space between the scrotum and the anus (perineal prostatectomy).
For smaller prostates, treatment using medication may help to control abnormal prostatic growth
