Understanding HOLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate)

As on date there are very few urologists who are well versed in the use of the HOLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate) in Delhi for the treatment of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate as it is commonly known. The methodology is quite complex and calls for a lot of time and attention in order to learn, that is the reason why the widespread adoption of this technique has still not occurred even though it offers far more advantages over the other alternative treatment methods.

Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate is a non-malignant condition where the tissues of the prostate gland in males increase in size over the years and weigh down on the urethra (the channel through which the urine is carried out of the body), constricting its size and thereby causing obstruction in the smooth expelling of urine from the body.

In order to ease the discomfort caused by this condition, the prostate tissues which cause the obstruction need to be removed so that the urethra regains its original dimensions and the smooth flow of urine from the body resumes. Urologists, who have the know-how, use HOLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate) in Delhi to either vaporize or completely remove the disruptive tissue.

Let us elaborate on this novel surgical procedure further. HOLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate)is the use of laser to remove the obstructing prostate tissue and push it in to the bladder. An endoscope is then used to remove these tissues from the bladder. A catheter is normally left to drain the bladder at the end of the procedure. The operation on an average takes between forty-five to ninety minutes depending upon the size of the prostate.

The main reason as to why HOLEP(Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate) scoresother surgical procedures such as TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) and TUIP (Transurethral Incision of the Prostrate) is that there is minimal bleeding in this procedure and the recovery time is much, much shorter. The duration of hospital stay for undergoing the HOLEP surgery also does not exceed more than twenty four hours. The best part is that the positive impacts of this laser surgery are noticeable right away and the possible recurrence of the prostate enlargement is delayed by a considerable amount of time.

Although there are only a few options for HOLEP(Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate)in Delhi, it is advisable for those having to undergo surgical intervention for their enlarged prostates to consider this option as it not only provides quick relief from the symptoms but also ensures complete resumption of normalcy in life within the shortest possible duration.
