Description:
Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate is a modern, minimally invasive surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Using a holmium laser, the surgeon carefully enucleates (removes) the obstructing portions of the prostate through the urethra. The tissue is then morcellated and removed, which clears the blockage and improves urine flow. HoLEP can be used for prostates of almost any size and often results in shorter hospital stays, less bleeding, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery like TURP. Possible risks include temporary urinary incontinence, retrograde ejaculation, or urethral irritation, but outcomes are generally durable with long-lasting symptom relief.
