Holmium laser prostatectomy now matches traditional surgical outcomes for benign prostatic hyperplasia. This review details the surgical technique and literature supporting holmium laser prostatectomy effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Holmium laser prostatectomy (HoLP) has advanced significantly over the past decade.
  • HoLP aims to replicate the clinical outcomes of traditional prostatectomy methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the surgical approach for holmium laser prostatectomy at the Methodist Hospital of Indiana.
  • To provide a comprehensive literature review on holmium laser prostatectomy.

Main Methods:

  • The article details a specific surgical technique for HoLP.
  • A review of existing medical literature on HoLP was conducted.

Main Results:

  • Holmium laser prostatectomy demonstrates comparable short- and long-term results to transurethral and open prostatectomy.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The reviewed literature supports the efficacy and safety of HoLP.

    • Conclusions:

    • Holmium laser prostatectomy is an effective treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    • The surgical technique discussed offers a viable alternative to traditional prostatectomy procedures.
