About Laser TURP HoLEP

Laser TURP HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by a urologist to treat an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH). It combines the principles of traditional TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) with advanced laser technology. Using a holmium laser fiber inserted through a cystoscope, the urologist precisely enucleates (shells out) the obstructive prostate tissue in lobes. A morcellator is then used to remove the tissue fragments. This procedure is highly effective for large prostates, offers excellent long-term relief from urinary symptoms, minimizes bleeding, and typically allows for a shorter catheter time and hospital stay compared to older techniques.

Key Highlights

    Minimally invasive procedure with no external incisions.Highly effective for treating large prostate glands.Significantly reduced risk of bleeding compared to traditional surgery.Shorter catheterization time and hospital stay.Durable, long-term relief from urinary symptoms.Lower risk of needing a repeat procedure in the future.liCan be performed on patients taking blood-thinning medications in many cases./li/ul

How to prepare

PATIENT REVIEW

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
