HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate)
Lumenis has partnered with key luminaries to provide world-class training centers for urologists to learn this breakthrough technique firsthand from the experts. Live surgical demonstrations feature both the high-power VersaPulse PowerSuite Holmium laser and the VersaCut tissue morcellator, giving surgeons a clinical edge with this remarkable technology.
Here’s what the experts have to say about holmium laser treatment for BPH:
“The HoLEP has replaced standard TURP completely and unreservedly in our hospital. There is nothing out there that has been shown to be better.”
Peter Gilling, MD, Consulting Urologist at Tauranga Hospital, Tauranga, New Zealand and holmium laser prostatectomy pioneer
“Use of the Ho:YAG laser for treatment of BPH is an important new technique that offers significant advantages over TURP….In a phrase, HoLEP compared with TURP provides ‘maximal benefit with minimal morbidity’….I would envision that every significant urology department will have a holmium laser at their disposal. It is a basic tool for stones and BPH, two of the most common conditions urologists treat.”

Dr. Amy E. Krambeck, Mayo Clinic Urologic Surgeon, talks about symptoms, treatment and surgical options for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
By the time they hit their 60th birthdays, half of all men will have a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. It’s a natural enlargement of the prostate gland that happens as you age. Treatment can be as simple as daily medication or as invasive as open surgery. Now doctors at Mayo Clinic are using a new laser technique to relieve symptoms for many men.
