HoLEP
HoLEP – Advanced Laser Surgery for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Painless | Scar-Free | Gold Standard for Prostate Surgery
What is HoLEP?
HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) is a revolutionary minimally invasive laser surgery used to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — a common condition in aging men causing urinary obstruction due to prostate enlargement.
Using the power of a Holmium laser, HoLEP precisely removes the excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow, offering long-lasting relief with minimal bleeding and rapid recovery.
How Does HoLEP Work?
- Performed under spinal or general anesthesia.
- A thin scope is inserted through the urethra (no cuts).
- Holmium laser separates the enlarged prostate tissue from its capsule.
- The tissue is removed via a morcellator and sent for histopathology.
- A catheter is placed temporarily for urine drainage.
Benefits of HoLEP Over Traditional Prostate Surgery
- Bloodless & scar-free (no incisions)
- Suitable even for very large prostates
- Shorter catheterization time (1–2 days)
- Quick hospital discharge (within 24–48 hours)
- Minimal risk of complications
- Preserves sexual and urinary function
- Definitive solution with lower risk of recurrence
Who Should Consider HoLEP?
Men with:
- Difficulty in urination
- Frequent nighttime urination
- Weak urinary stream
- Urinary retention or catheter dependency
- Enlarged prostate on imaging
Even high-risk patients (diabetics, cardiac issues, on blood thinners) are good candidates due to minimal bleeding.
