What is HoLEP Surgery?

Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) is a modern, minimally invasive procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can block urine flow. HoLEP uses a high-powered holmium laser to remove obstructive prostate tissue, which is then cut into smaller pieces and removed through the urinary tract. This procedure is known for its precision, minimal bleeding, and suitability for patients with very large prostates.

Step-by-Step HoLEP Surgery

1

Preoperative Assessment

Blood tests, urine tests, and prostate imaging to confirm diagnosis and plan surgery.

2

Anesthesia Administration

General or spinal anesthesia is used for patient comfort.

3

Endoscopic Insertion

A scope is inserted through the urethra to access the prostate.

4

Laser Enucleation

Holmium laser separates and removes obstructive prostate tissue.

5

Tissue Morcellation

Removed tissue is cut into small pieces and extracted.

6

Catheter Placement

A urinary catheter is placed for short-term drainage.

7

Recovery & Discharge

Monitoring and discharge within 1–2 days for most patients.

Understanding the HoLEP Procedure

BPH is a common condition in older men, causing urinary symptoms like difficulty starting urination, weak flow, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying. HoLEP offers a safe alternative to open surgery or traditional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), especially for larger prostates.

Benefits of HoLEP

Minimally Invasive

No abdominal cuts, less pain, and faster healing.

Effective for Large Prostates

Suitable for glands of any size.

Minimal Bleeding

Ideal for patients on blood thinners.

Long-Term Relief
