HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) is a highly effective, minimally invasive surgical procedure for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. Using a state-of-the-art holmium laser, Dr. Erol precisely removes the excess prostate tissue that is blocking urine flow. This tissue is then safely extracted from the bladder, creating a clear and open channel for urination. Unlike older methods, HoLEP removes almost all of the obstructing tissue, similar to open surgery, but without the need for large incisions.
HoLEP is widely recognized as the gold standard for treating BPH due to its numerous benefits:
Highly effective in relieving BPH symptoms, often providing immediate and significant improvement in urine flow.
