How Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) is performed
This procedure is usually performed under general or spinal anesthesia, using a holmium laser to enter the prostate through the urethra. The hyperplastic glandular tissue is typically enucleated step by step along the surgical plane, and the tissue is removed with a morcellator. Hemostasis and irrigation are performed as necessary. A urinary catheter is placed postoperatively to monitor urine color, bleeding, and urination. The goal is to relieve obstruction and improve lower urinary tract symptoms. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
