Enlarged Prostate Treatment Options

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.”

Symptoms of prostate cancer may include the following: urinary problems, such as not being able to urinate, having a hard time starting or stopping the flow of urine, needing to urinate often, especially at night, weak flow of urine, urine flow that starts and stops, pain or burning during urination, difficulty having an erection, blood in the urine or semen, and/or frequent pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. Prostate cancer usually does not cause symptoms in the beginning stages. By the time symptoms do occur, the disease may have spread beyond the prostate.
