Brief Answer:
yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
This is significant size of prostate but today it is possible to perform laser surgery in most urologic departments. So it depends if your hospital have appropriate infrastructure for laser surgery. So you need to ask your urologist for details. If there is any suspicion of malignancy then laser surgery should not be used. Wish you good health. Regards
