The Holep laser procedure gains space as a less invasive and effective alternative to treat the benign growth of the prostate in PAC
Summary
The Holep laser technique revolutionizes the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, offering a less invasive method with rapid recovery, less bleeding and lasting results.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (HPB) is a non -cancerous increase in the prostate that affects more than half of men over 50 years. Although it is a benign condition, the impacts on the quality of life can be significant. Among the most common symptoms are the weak urinary jet, the feeling of emptying the incomplete bladder, an increase in urinary frequency – especially at night – and difficulty starting or stopping the flow of urine.
With the progress of medicine, early diagnosis and minimally invasive treatments have revolutionized the way in which the HPB is approached, especially in large centers such as St. Paul.
How laser treatment (holep) works
The Holep Laser (prostate of Holmio) laser enucleation is now considered the most advanced method for the surgical treatment of the HPB. The procedure is performed in a user way, that is, without external cuts, which drastically reduces the recovery time and the risk of complications.
During the surgery, an Olmio laser beam is used to remove the obstructive prostate fabric, restoring the normal flow of urine. This fabric is therefore fragmented and removed from the urethra. The procedure is led by high precision cameras, ensuring total security.
In addition to effectiveness, Holep stands out to preserve urinary function and minimize bleeding. It is also suitable for patients with voluminous prostate or who use anticoagulant – something that limits the use of other techniques.
Advantages of Holep in relation to traditional methods
• Little time of hospitalization: Often the patient is discharged in less than 24 hours.
• less bleeding: Since it is a method with controlled energy, Holep cauterizes the vessels by removing the fabric.
• Faster recovery: Most patients resume light activities in a few days.
• lasting results: The recurrence rates are significantly lower than older techniques.
The early diagnosis is still the largest ally
Although the progress of technology has transformed the treatment with HPB, early diagnosis is still essential to avoid complications such as acute urinary retention and recurring infections. Simple tests, such as the rectal touch and the PSA (specific prostate antigen), allow the early detection of the condition.
45 -year -old men should maintain regular urological accompaniment, even in the absence of symptoms.
“It is not just about preventing cancer. Benign diseases, such as prostate hyperplasia, also cause physical and emotional suffering and, if not treated, can influence man’s social and professional life”, strengthens Pedro Bastos, Urologist Juiz de for..
Quality of life and access to technology
With the disclosure of Holep in the specialized centers in Brazil, more patients have reached access to a less invasive, more effective and proven alternative.
The focus of modern medicine was not only extension of life, but guaranteeing quality in all phases. The possibility of treating HPB with laser is a direct reflection of this evolution.
