What does the Holmium Laser Enucleation (HoLEP) procedure involve?
HoLEP uses a holmium laser to precisely separate and remove obstructive prostate tissue from the capsule, similar to an open prostatectomy but through the urethra with no external incisions. A morcellator then fragments the enucleated tissue for removal. This technique is size-independent, meaning it effectively treats prostates of any volume, including those over 100 grams, where traditional TURP becomes less effective.
