Holmium laser prostate surgery
Holmium laser prostate surgery is a minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate. Also called holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), the procedure uses a laser to remove tissue that is blocking urine flow through the prostate.
Is HoLEP better than TURP?
HoLEP is associated with less blood loss, lower transfusion rates, and a shorter hospital stay in comparison to TURP. However, the sexual function scores (IIEF5) remain similar in both.
