HoLEP is a minimally invasive laser surgery for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. It involves the removal of the enlarged prostate tissue obstructing the urine flow using a high-energy laser.
The laser carefully distinguishes the excess tissue from the prostate capsule and extracts it via the urine passage. HoLEP is an effective procedure for patients with small, medium, and very large prostates.
HoLEP provides long-lasting outcomes with minimal chances of recurrence. It is conducted under anesthesia and does not require any external cut during surgery. HoLEP causes minimal bleeding and faster recovery times compared to traditional surgery.
HoLEP is prescribed for men with moderate to severe urinary symptoms due to an enlarged prostate. It is most beneficial for men with very enlarged prostates who are not ideal candidates for traditional surgery.
This surgery is beneficial for men with weak urine flow, frequent urination, urination at night, or urinary retention. It is also ideal for patients on blood thinners because there is less risk of bleeding.
HoLEP is recommended by physicians when medications are no longer effective in managing symptoms. The selection of patients for HoLEP is determined by the size of the prostate, bladder condition, and the patient’s medical status.
The process involves anesthesia and the insertion of a scope through the urinary tract. A holmium laser is employed to dissect the prostate gland from its covering capsule.
The dissected tissue is then pushed into the bladder and extracted via a morcellator. Bleeding is also controlled in the process using a laser.
A catheter is also placed temporarily to facilitate the drainage of urine. The process is incisionless and very precise. Patients are closely monitored after the surgery for urine flow and comfort.
HoLEP has several advantages over the conventional methods of prostate surgery. It allows for the total excision of the obstructing prostate tissue, thus providing long-term relief from symptoms.
There is minimal blood loss, making it safe even for high-risk patients. The hospital stay and catheter use are shorter. Urinary flow is rapidly improved post-operatively. The procedure is less likely to result in the regrowth of the prostate tissue.
It is effective even in cases of large prostates, unlike other procedures. The quality of life is improved due to improved bladder emptying and decreased urinary symptoms.
Most patients can begin walking on the same day or the following day after the surgery. Burning sensations while passing urine or trace amounts of blood in the urine may be experienced temporarily. The catheter is normally removed after one to two days.
A normal diet can be resumed quickly, and fluid intake is encouraged. Lifting heavy objects or strenuous activities are avoided for a few weeks.
Follow-up appointments assist in monitoring urine flow and healing. The recovery process is smooth, and patients soon resume their daily activities.
