Enlarged Prostate
Most patients with enlarged prostate need treatment only if they have urinary symptoms, recurring infections, or their kidneys are threatened. Most patients with enlarged prostate can be managed effectively using medicines. However, if a patient needs prostate surgery then these are the following options.
Book Appointment
HOLEP (Holmium laser enucleation of prostate)
Prostate gland is removed without any cut over the skin. Entire surgery is performed through natural urinary opening. Holmium laser is especially useful for patients with very large prostate glands, or heart patients, or patients on blood thinners. The bleeding is very less. The outcomes of this surgery are excellent. Patient Can go home, 1 or 2 days after the surgery, after removal of urinary catheter.
Book AppointmentTURP (Transurethral resection of prostate)
Similar to HOLEP, this procedure involves the use of electric current instead of laser. This procedure is may benefit patients with moderately enlarged glands, not on blood thinners, with good functional status. Recovery is similar to that after HOLEP.
Book Appointment
TUIP (TRANSURETHRAL INCISION OF PROSTATE)
This procedure is best suited for the smaller prostate glands, needing surgery for intractable urinary symptoms. This procedure involves making small cuts in the prostate and urinary bladder, instead of removing the prostate gland.
