Overview

Prostate issues are becoming common in India. Various prostate problems, like prostate enlargement, can be dangerous if not treated early. In the case of prostate enlargement, it swells due to extra cells, pressing on the urethra and decreasing the urine blood flow. And this results in a set of symptoms that lower your quality of life. Most men over the age of 40 may experience such symptoms. Here we’ve discussed the advanced treatment that includes the details of laser therapy, the cost of laser therapy in India, and many more.

Understanding prostate laser treatment

In earlier times, surgeons used to perform prostate gland surgery in a conventional way, i.e., after opening the abdomen, they used to remove the gland in total. After that, the endoscopy procedure(TURP-Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) came into practice to treat the enlarged prostate.

In recent times, newer modalities like prostate laser treatment have come into existence.

In this procedure, laser energy is used to cut the gland. Laser prostate surgery carries several advantages over any other type of prostate surgery, including:

-fast recovery

-earlier discharge

-less pain

-less bleeding

What are the various types of laser surgery available for prostate enlargement?

PVP (photoselective vaporization of the prostate): A laser is used to melt (vaporize) excess prostate tissue. This will help to enlarge the urinary channel and release the pressure on the urethra.

Holmium laser ablation of the prostate (HoLAP): This procedure is similar to PVP in that excess prostate tissue is melted away (vaporized) using a different type of laser.

Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate(HoLEP): The laser is used to cut and remove excess tissue that is blocking the urethra. After that, a morcellator is used to cut the prostate tissue into small pieces that can be easily removed.
