Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a modern surgical technique used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Unlike traditional methods such as TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate), HoLEP utilizes a laser to precisely remove excess prostate tissue that is causing urinary obstruction. The procedure involves inserting a laser fiber through the urethra to vaporize and enucleate (remove) the obstructive prostate tissue. HoLEP is known for its effectiveness in improving urinary symptoms associated with BPH, including urinary hesitancy, weak urine stream, and incomplete bladder emptying. It has the advantage of being able to treat even very large prostates effectively with reduced risk of bleeding compared to traditional surgery. HoLEP is considered a safe and durable treatment option for BPH, offering significant improvements in quality of life for patients.
