HOLEP
HOLEP Treatment in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore
HOLEP is a surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The procedure involves making two incisions in the prostate, which are then used to insert a laser that evaporates the excess tissue. This tissue is then removed through a suction device. The entire procedure takes about an hour, and patients typically spend one night in the hospital. The procedure is effective in relieving symptoms associated with BPH, such as urinary frequency and urgency, and can also improve urinary flow. There are typically no side effects, although there is a small risk of infection and bleeding.
Pre-procedure for HOLEPPrior to undergoing HOLEP, patients will typically have a pre-operative consultation with their surgeon. During this visit, the surgeon will review the patient's medical history and perform a physical examination. They will also discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.
Patients should also have a urine test and complete blood work before HOLEP. Additionally, they may have a CT scan or ultrasound of the bladder to assess the size and location of the prostate. HOLEP is typically performed under general anaesthesia.
