Prostate laser surgery is used to relieve moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate — a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). During prostate laser surgery, your doctor inserts a scope through the tip of your penis into the tube that carries urine from your bladder (urethra).
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a surgical procedure that removes obstructions that block urine flow. Developed in the 90s, HoLEP presents a less invasive and costly...
Holmium laser prostate surgery is a minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate. Also called holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), the procedure uses a laser to remove tissue that is blocking urine flow through the prostate.
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a treatment for people with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The laser surgery removes blockages that prevent your pee from flowing. This type of surgery involves no incisions and little downtime.
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate is a minimally invasive procedure that uses pulses of laser beam to remove tissue from the inside of the prostate, which surrounds the urethra (the tube leading from the bladder to the urinary opening).
PVP removes excess prostate tissue using a patented high-power green light laser. The laser energy quickly vaporizes and precisely removes the enlarged prostate tissue in a virtually bloodless procedure. This allows even patients on blood thinner therapy, such as aspirin or warfarin, to be treated.
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a procedure where a doctor uses a laser to remove prostate tissue from an enlarged prostate that’s restricting urine flow.
HoLEP: A gold standard for BPH treatment. Men with an enlarged prostate now have a minimally-invasive surgical option. Our UW Health surgeons use laser techniques (meaning no incision is needed) to remove tissue that blocks urine flow. Patients go home the same day and recover faster.
Laser PVP surgery is a minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate. The procedure uses a laser to perform photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP). During laser PVP surgery, a tube with an imaging system (cystoscope) is inserted into the penis.
Laser surgery is an increasingly widely-used technique in men who were diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia, an enlargement of the prostate that occurs in most men, to some degree, with age. Compared to traditional prostate surgery methods, prostate laser surgery has some distinct advantages.
