LASER TREATMENT FOR ENLARGED PROSTATE
HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) is a minimally invasive laser treatment for men with urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate (BPH).
HoLEP removes the prostate tissue that is blocking the flow of urine, helping improve urinary flow and bladder emptying. Unlike some treatments for an enlarged prostate, HoLEP can be used for prostates of almost any size and provides durable, long-term relief of urinary symptoms.
The procedure is performed through the urethra(the pipe you pee out from) , so there are no external cuts. Most men spend one night in hospital and can return relatively quickly to normal activities.
Why Choose HOLEP
Effective for prostates of almost any size
HoLEP can treat both moderately enlarged and very large prostates, where some minimally invasive treatments may not be suitable.
Long-lasting symptom relief
By removing the obstructing prostate tissue rather than simply shrinking or compressing it, HoLEP provides durable improvement with a low likelihood of needing further prostate surgery.
No external incisions
The entire procedure is performed through the urethra using a laser, avoiding an abdominal incision.
Less bleeding and faster recovery
HoLEP generally causes less bleeding than traditional open prostate surgery and allows most men to leave hospital after one night.
