Holmium Laser Prostatectomy in Abu Dhabi
Holmium laser prostatectomy is a procedure that targets the amplified tissues of the prostate and eliminates them to ease pressure and remove or decrease the symptoms.
During the Procedure
After you are under anesthesia in the operating room, your specialist will see at your prostate through a small camera (cystoscope) placed into your urethra (the small tube connecting your bladder to your penis) through the tip of your penis. The holium laser surgeon in Abu Dhabi will place a small laser and scope, which are utilized to cut additional tissues in the prostate causing BPH symptoms. The prostate tissue will be eliminated leaving just the prostate capsule. The tissue is normally taken out in 2 or 3 large pieces, which are placed into the bladder. Your surgeon will utilize a laser to seal up any blood vessels. A second device called a morcellator will separate the prostate tissue in the bladder and pull it out. There might be a limited quantity of tissue left behind that will be securely urinated out of your system.
Before the holium laser surgery in Abu Dhabi is completed, your specialist will place a catheter to flush out any blood. A catheter is a small tube that runs from the bladder through the urethra and drains urine into a bag outside your body.
What must one expect after a Holmium laser prostatectomy?
At the end of the procedure, a catheter is placed through the opening of the penis to empty the urine from the bladder into a collection bag. Urine is drained this way for a couple of days permitting the surgical wound to heal undisturbed. In certain occurrences, your bladder might be flushed with water by means of the catheter to keep it clean. Whenever irrigation has halted, you might see that your urine is little red. Don’t be frightened as some bleeding is normal. It ought to clear up when you are discharged from the hospital which is generally 2-3 days after the surgery.
What are the advantages of Holmium laser prostatectomy?
The purported advantage of HOLEP over a TURP is the lesser amount of bleeding. This is possible because of a more efficient control over bleeding by the laser and the technique of enucleation whereby the tissue is cut only once as compared to repeated cuts in a TURP. Since saline is used for irrigation, the likelihood of dangerously low sodium levels which are occasionally seen after TURP is unlikely.
