HoLEP

HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate), is an advanced surgical technique for the treatment of an enlarged prostate gland, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Holep is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively removes excess prostate tissue, providing long-lasting relief from BPH symptoms and improving urinary flow.BPH is a common condition in ageing men, characterised by the enlargement of the prostate gland, which can lead to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying. 

Traditionally, BPH treatment options included medication or invasive surgical procedures. However, with the advent of HoLEP, we can offer a highly effective and less invasive alternative. HoLEP is performed under general or spinal anaesthesia, ensuring the patient's comfort throughout the procedure. The technique utilises a high-powered holmium laser to precisely and safely remove the obstructing prostate tissue. During the procedure, a small instrument called a resectoscope is inserted through the urethra to reach the prostate. The holmium laser is then used to enucleate or remove the excess prostate tissue, creating a clear channel for urine flow.

One of the key advantages of Holep is its ability to treat even large prostates effectively. The holmium laser can precisely and efficiently remove obstructing tissue, regardless of the prostate size, ensuring optimal results. Compared to traditional open surgery, Holep offers several benefits, including shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times, and reduced blood loss.The minimally invasive nature of Holep minimises patient discomfort and promotes quicker recovery. It also reduces the risk of complications such as bleeding and infection. With Holep, patients can experience significant improvement in their urinary symptoms, leading to a better quality of life and enhanced overall well-being.
