The Laser Urology Centre Arezzo Italy http://www.urologialaser.it/index_en.html
was born thanks to the experience of Doctor Stefano Mattioli, who was the italian urologist who first introduced the use of laser in urologic surgery rooms ever since 1984. Doctor Alessandro Picinotti is another promoter of the centre and the one who means to continue such procedures through divulgation and spreading of information about the use of laser in urology.
Doctor Ugo Doria and Doctor Monica Sbragi are part of the equipe as well, both of them own experience in surgery and in medical clinic. The medical staff at the centre can offer qualified information as to the most modern tecniques concerning the use of laser in urologic surgery rooms, since the medicians operate in more than one health care facility and have been gaining, over the years, knowledge and practice of the lasers on the market at present: Tullio Laser, KTP Laser and Holmium Laser.
Since 2000 the use of Holmium-Yag Laser spreads over, it can be considered the initiator of a modern era because it is still employed in urologic surgery rooms and it was the beginning of the collaboration of Doc. Mattioli and Doc. Picinotti.
In July 2002, Doc. Mattioli shows for the first time another innovative laser, especially for the treatment of prostatic hypertrophy: it was KTP Green-Light Niagara (Corriere Salute 22/10/2002) and, learning the tecnique from his Master, Doc. Picinotti uses it for the second time ever in Italy and today it is still used in some centres in Italy, including ours. The introduction of Thulium Laser, in 2004, was another foundamental stage. Once again employed for the first time in Italy by Doc. Mattioli, it combines in one instrument the features of the two previous models, with greater precision and even less side effects (which were, in any way, very scanty).

In December 2006, the friendship and professional relation which link Doc. Mattioli and Doc. Picinotti, bring to the birth of the Laser Urology Centre.

Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate – or TURP. But what exactly does that mean?

The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ that is part of your reproductive system.

It provides some of the fluid contained in semen.

The prostate is located just under the bladder and behind the testicles.
The urethra — a hollow tube that carries both urine and semen to the penis — passes through the prostate.

In some men, the prostate gland becomes enlarged. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate include:
Patient Education
* a full bladder feeling even when the bladder is empty

* pain when urinating

* weak urinary stream

* infertility

* and sexual dysfunction.

To relieve you of your symptoms, your doctor feels that you would benefit from a surgical procedure called TURP.

TURP is designed to relieve symptoms by reducing the size of the prostate.
It is also a diagnostic procedure. Tissue removed during a resection of the prostate or TURP is routinely screened for the presence of cancer.

So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.

Your doctor will then…
…lift your penis upward.
A well-lubricated instrument called a resectoscope is then gently inserted into the urethra.
When the resectoscope reaches the back of the penis, your doctor will pull the penis downward in order to create a straight path into the prostate.
Using this tool, your doctor will then scrape excess tissue from the prostate, restoring it to its normal size.
Tissue removed from the prostate may be sent a laboratory for analysis.
When the surgery is complete, your doctor will remove the resectoscope. Your doctor will probably ask you to wear a temporary Foley catheter.
A Foley catheter is a narrow tube inserted through your urethra and into your bladder. The catheter is connected to a bag that is attached to your leg by a strap. While the Foley catheter is in place, urine will pass from your bladder into the bag. You will not need to urinate into a toilet.
The nurse will show you how to change the bag when it is full. An appointment will be made for you to return to the doctor’s office in a couple of days to have the catheter removed. As soon as the anesthesia wears off and you feel comfortable, you’ll be allowed to leave.
