Laser Surgery For Prostate Enlargement (BPH)

Laser treatments effectively address benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate enlargement, by removing excess tissue to improve urine flow. These minimally invasive procedures use specialized lasers to vaporize or enucleate prostate tissue, offering faster recovery than traditional surgery.

Common Types

Holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP) removes larger prostates entirely, cutting tissue into pieces for extraction, and suits severe cases with durable results. It is a proven safer method especially in patients who are higher risk of bleeding due to blood thinners or very large prostate glands.

Procedure Overview

A scope inserts through the urethra to deliver laser energy, avoiding external cuts; a catheter drains urine for 12-24 hours post-op. Sessions last 30-90 minutes under anesthesia, with immediate symptom relief like better urination.

Benefits and Risks

Benefits include
  • Rapid Recovery
  • Short Hospital Stays
  • Preserved Sexual Function in many cases
  • Suitability for high-risk patients on blood thinners.
Risks involve:
  • Temporary Irritation
  • Rare regrowth (1-5% over years)
  • Or retrograde ejaculation, though less bleeding than TURP.
