Prostate Laser Surgery at Urology Clinic DRHC Dubai

Overview

Prostate laser surgery is a modern, minimally invasive treatment option for men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged prostate. This advanced technique uses laser energy to remove excess prostate tissue, relieving urinary symptoms and improving quality of life. At DRHC Dubai, we offer cutting-edge prostate laser surgery performed by our experienced urology team, ensuring optimal patient outcomes and quick recovery times.

What is Prostate Laser Surgery?

Prostate laser surgery involves the use of a high-energy laser to precisely remove or vaporize excess prostate tissue that is obstructing urine flow. The procedure is performed through the urethra, eliminating the need for external incisions.

Types of Prostate Laser Surgery

1. Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP): Also known as GreenLight laser surgery, this method uses a laser to vaporize obstructive prostate tissue, allowing for immediate symptom relief.
2. Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP): This technique uses a holmium laser to enucleate and remove large prostate tissue segments, which are then morcellated and removed from the bladder.
3. Thulium Laser Prostatectomy: This procedure employs a thulium laser to resect or enucleate prostate tissue, offering precise control and reduced bleeding.

Indications for Prostate Laser Surgery

Prostate laser surgery is recommended for men with moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by BPH, such as:

• Frequent urination, especially at night
• Difficulty starting urination
• Weak or interrupted urine flow
• Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying
• Recurrent urinary tract infections

The Prostate Laser Surgery Procedure

1. Preparation: Patients undergo a preoperative evaluation, including imaging and lab tests. Instructions are given regarding fasting and medication adjustments.
2. Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under spinal or general anesthesia.
3. Laser Application: A cystoscope is inserted through the urethra to access the prostate. The laser is then used to remove or vaporize the obstructive tissue.
4. Completion: The removed tissue is evacuated, and the area is irrigated. A catheter may be placed to assist with urine drainage post-surgery.

Recovery and Aftercare

1. Hospital Stay: Most patients can go home the same day or after an overnight stay.
2. Catheter: If a catheter is placed, it is usually removed within a few days.
3. Activity: Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a few weeks.
4. Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor recovery and ensure symptom relief.

Benefits of Prostate Laser Surgery

• Minimally Invasive: Reduced risk of complications and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery.
• Effective Symptom Relief: Significant improvement in urinary symptoms and quality of life.
• Precision and Control: Laser technology allows for precise tissue removal with minimal bleeding.
• Outpatient Procedure: Many patients can return home the same day.

Risks and Complications

While prostate laser surgery is generally safe, potential risks include:

• Temporary difficulty urinating
• Urinary tract infections
• Narrowing of the urethra (stricture)
• Retrograde ejaculation

At DRHC Dubai, our skilled surgeons utilize the latest techniques and technologies to minimize these risks and ensure the best possible outcomes.
