For the first time, VITAMED MEDICAL has established the removal of prostate adenoma using a laser. Laser removal of prostate adenoma (Laser enucleation). Surgical treatment of prostate adenoma is indicated for patients with severe symptoms, involvement of the upper urinary tract, in the absence of effect from drug therapy and with the development of various complications.

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is the latest surgical, high-tech method for treating prostatic hypertrophy using a holmium laser. Holmium laser enucleation of prostate hyperplasia is an alternative to transurethral electroresection (TUR), and in patients with large adenomas the preferred method of surgical treatment. It is easily tolerated and has few contraindications. The electrical safety of laser holmium enucleation allows surgical intervention to be performed in patients with an artificial pacemaker, pacemaker, or metal fixation device for the bone skeleton without the risk of developing intraoperative complications. Currently, laser enucleation makes it possible to remove large adenomas (more than 100 cm3), which in turn allows one to avoid open adenomectomy.

Advantages of holmium laser removal of prostate adenoma:

1. Effective for any volume of prostate adenoma.

2. Low risk of complications. The holmium laser completely removes the adenoma without damaging healthy tissue. Minimal bleeding volume, which is especially important for patients with impaired blood coagulation system functions and diseases of the cardiovascular system.

3. The absence of such a formidable complication as TUR syndrome.

4. Fast postoperative rehabilitation of the patient. The average stay in the clinic is 4-5 days.

5. Preservation of erectile function. Some studies have shown that erectile function even improves slightly after HOLEP.

Laser removal of adenoma in the urology department of the VITAMED MEDICAL clinic is carried out using the latest generation holmium laser “ACU-H2G 80W”. The use of laser ensures a quick return to daily activities.
