Types of Laser Urology Surgeries
- Laser Surgery for Kidney Stones
Procedures like RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery), URS (Ureteroscopy), and PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) use Holmium or Thulium lasers to break kidney stones into fine dust, which is then flushed out naturally. - Laser Prostate Surgery (HoLEP)
HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) removes excess prostate tissue in patients with BPH (enlarged prostate). It ensures better urine flow and long-term relief. - Laser Surgery for Urethral Stricture
Lasers are used to precisely open narrowed sections of the urethra, improving urinary flow without invasive cutting. - Laser Cancer Surgery
In selected cases of bladder or prostate cancers, laser technology helps in tumor removal with high precision, reducing complications.
Benefits of Laser Urology Surgery
- Minimally Invasive – No large cuts or stitches, only small endoscopic entry.
- Reduced Blood Loss – Laser seals blood vessels while operating.
- Faster Recovery – Patients resume daily life much sooner compared to open surgery.
- Safe for High-Risk Patients – Especially beneficial for elderly patients or those on blood thinners.
- High Success Rate – Effective outcomes with low recurrence rates.
- Shorter Hospital Stay – Most procedures require only 1–2 days of admission.
Conditions Treated with Laser Urology Surgery
- Kidney Stones (RIRS, URS, PCNL, ESWL)
- Prostate Enlargement (BPH) – HoLEP, Laser Vaporization
- Urethral Stricture
- Bladder Tumors
- Prostate Cancer (selected cases)
- Pediatric & Female Urology Conditions (laser options available)
Recovery & Aftercare
- Most patients experience only mild discomfort or burning for a few days after surgery.
- Catheter, if placed, is removed within 24–48 hours.
