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.

Why the 150W Holmium laser matters
A high-power Holmium laser breaks even very hard stones into fine dust quickly and removes prostate tissue precisely with little bleeding. This shortens operating time and makes laser treatment possible for larger stones and prostates. Read about Rajasthan’s first 150W Holmium laser.
