What is laser prostate surgery?
Laser prostate surgery is the current gold-standard treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition that affects more than 50% of men over the age of
- 1.Unlike classic transurethral resection (TURP), laser technology removes obstructive prostatic tissue with minimal bleeding and a faster recovery. In Medellín, two leading technologies are used: holmium laser (HoLEP), considered the gold standard for large prostates, and Green Light (PVP), ideal for anticoagulated patients or those with high surgical risk. HoLEP offers results equivalent to open surgery with a re-intervention rate of less than 1% at 10 years.
Advantages over classic TURP
- •No significant bleeding: The laser coagulates vessels at the same time as it resects
- •Fast recovery: Discharged the same day or the following day
- •Lasting results: Re-intervention rate of less than 1% at 10 years (HoLEP)
- •Suitable for high-risk patients: Green Light is safe for anticoagulated patients
