Prostate Laser Surgery in Bangalore

When the prostate gets bigger, it can cause problems with the bladder. Laser surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can help with this.

For prostate laser surgery, a scope is put into the tube that carries urine from your bladder to the tip of your penis. This tube is called the urethra. Urinary flow is restricted if the prostate is large since it encircles the urethra. Using a laser that is sent via the scope, energy is delivered to the prostate that reduces or eliminates extra tissue.

Prostate Laser Surgery Types

Photoselective vaporisation of the prostate (PVP): The urinary channel is made larger by removing extra prostate tissue with a laser (which evaporates it). Prostates that are mildly to moderately enlarged are often treated with this method.
Holmium laser ablation of the prostate (HoLAP): A new kind of laser is used in this technique, which is similar to PVP but not identical.
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP): A laser is then used to cut and eliminate the obstruction in the urethra caused by too much prostate tissue. The tissue is then cut into small pieces that can be easily taken out with another tool. Men whose prostates are very big may benefit from HoLEP as an alternative way to treat the

Prostate Surgery Procedure

Through the tip of your penis, a small fibre-optic scope is put into your urethra. The prostate tissue that is obstructing the flow of urine is vaporised or surgically removed using a laser via the scope.Depending on the method, your doctor may remove cut pieces of prostate tissue from the bladder..

Advantages of laser prostate surgery

In comparison to alternative BPH treatments, laser surgery has various benefits. Medication results might take weeks or even months to become apparent. Laser surgery has immediate effects on the symptoms of urine incontinence. Some of the benefits of conventional surgery, such as TURP and open prostatectomy, include:

Lower risk of bleeding: Men who are on blood-thinning medication or have a bleeding disease that prevents their blood from clotting properly may benefit from laser surgery.
Reduced or eliminated need for hospitalisation: It is possible to have laser surgery done on an outpatient basis or in the hospital for only one night.
Improved recovery time: Laser surgery often requires a shorter recovery time than open or TURP surgery.
Reduced need for a catheter: The use of a catheter to drain urine from the bladder after surgery for an enlarged prostate is common. Most laser surgeries only need the use of a catheter for a few hours at the most.
