Laser Prostate Surgery (HoLEP, ThuFLEP)
Prostate Enlargement and Modern Treatment Methods
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common urological problems in men. Today, regardless of the size of the prostate, this problem can be treated safely and permanently thanks to modern surgical methods.
What is Prostate Enucleation Surgery?
Prostate enucleation surgery involves removing the inner tissue of the prostate from its capsule using a laser. This method falls under the category of closed prostate surgery and is currently the most recommended surgical option for treating prostate enlargement.
Which Laser is Used for Prostate Surgery?
The name of the surgery changes depending on the laser system used in prostate enucleation surgery:
- HoLEP (Holmium YAG laser prostate surgery)
- ThuLEP (Thulium YAG laser prostate surgery)
- ThuFLEP (Thulium fibre laser prostate surgery)
Each laser has its own unique advantages, but they all offer a safer, more comfortable and faster recovery process.
Advantages of Laser Prostate Surgery
- Less bleeding: It can be safely performed even in patients taking blood-thinning medication.
- Short catheterisation period: Most patients are catheter-free within 24 hours.
- Quick discharge: Hospital stay is quite short.
- Preservation of sexual function: No erection problems occur as the nerves responsible for erection are not damaged.
- Permanent solution: When performed correctly, the likelihood of prostate symptoms recurring is very low.
