This is a minimally invasive treatment used to treat an enlarged prostate.
 
It enables removal of all the prostate adenoma which is blocking the urethra and preventing the flow of urine, drastically improving the quality of urination with long-lasting results
 
Its effectiveness is similar to that of open surgery, but with the great advantage that it does not require any incisions, therefore reducing possible side effects and the length of stay in hospital.
 
It allows the preservation of removed tissue so it can be analysed by a pathologist, enabling detection of other diseases such as prostate cancer.
 
The photocoagulation produced by the laser while removing the tissue minimises bleeding as much as possible, preventing possible surgical complications.

1. An instrument called a resectoscope is inserted through the urethra into the bladder. The specialist passes the laser through this to perform enucleation of the prostate adenoma. No incision is made in the skin.

3. EThe enucleated adenoma is deposited in the bladder and extracted with a morcellator, a device that slices and aspirates the tissue, allowing samples to be obtained for pathological analysis.
 

• A permanent solution, enabling tissue to be eliminated in its entirety.

 

• No wounds, no wound care, dressings or staple removal are required.

 

• Minimal risk of complications, especially haemorrhagic, as the laser wavelength enables coagulation while cutting tissue.

 

• Short hospital stay.

 

• Rapid recovery following surgery.

 

• Lasting symptom relief.

 

• It does not cause erectile dysfunction, nor does it alter sexual desire.
