HoLEP
Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP)
A modern, lasting solution for enlarged prostate (BPH)
If you’re experiencing frequent urination, a weak stream, or the constant urge to go—especially at night—you may be dealing with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition as men age. Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) offers a long-term, minimally invasive solution that relieves symptoms and restores quality of life.
What is HoLEP?
HoLEP is a cutting-edge laser procedure that removes the overgrown prostate tissue causing urinary obstruction. Unlike older treatments like TURP, HoLEP removes the entire obstructing portion of the prostate, significantly reducing the chance of needing another procedure later.
Why Choose HoLEP?
Outpatient procedure: Most patients go home the same day.
No catheter needed: The majority of patients leave the hospital without a catheter.
Long-lasting relief: Low retreatment rates make it one of the most durable BPH solutions.
Minimally invasive: Performed through the urethra—no incisions needed.
Safe for large prostates: Effective even in cases where other treatments aren’t.
