Prostate laser surgery was used to relieve sensible to severe urinary symptoms that are caused by an enlarged prostate, this condition is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
During prostate laser operation, doctor will inserts a scope by the tip of penis into a tube that will carries urine from the bladder (urethra). The urethra was enclosed by the prostate. A laser was passed by the scope. Then the laser will delivers energy that was used to shrink or to take away the excess tissue part that was making urethra to block and prevents the urine flow.
PROCEDURE:
-
Before starting the procedure anesthesia should be performed to the patient, then the doctor will insert a thin fiber in the urethra by a cystoscope, an instrument that will allows the doctor to observe and examine the bladder and prostate.
-
The fiber distributes a green laser energy that will quickly vaporise and exactly removes enlarged prostate tissue. The doctor was able to safely observe and control the treatment part, modifying it to individual anatomy and needs.
-
Because the tissue was vaporized and discarded, a wide-open channel was created. Natural urine flow is instantly retained and urinary symptoms were relieved quickly.
-
The PVP laser method has been proven effective and safe.
-
PVP removes surplus tissue so by that urinary symptoms were relieved rapidly, accompanied by a dramatic enhancement in natural flow of urine.
-
Most patients were been discharged in less than 24 hours, and in most of the cases without a catheter. Recovery time will be shorter and comfortable, side effects are very minimal.
-
Serious long-term risks are very less to happen with prostate laser surgery compared with traditional surgery.
