    Home Urology Laser Prostatectomy

    Laser Prostatectomy

    A laser prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for men experiencing difficulties urinating due to an enlarged prostate gland. The prostate is a vital gland within the male reproductive system that plays an essential role in producing seminal fluid, which supports and nourishes sperm. Situated just beneath the bladder, it encircles the neck of the bladder and the initial portion of the urethra.

    Prostate enlargement can lead to various urination-related issues. Laser prostatectomy aims to alleviate symptoms by removing the obstructive prostate tissue responsible for the blockage. At Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, our skilled urologists excel in performing laser prostatectomies for individuals dealing with enlarged prostates.

    Why Laser Prostatectomy?

    Laser prostatectomy is a commonly utilised treatment for the symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also referred to as prostate enlargement.

    BPH, a non-cancerous condition, involves the enlargement of the prostate gland, which, as it grows, can exert pressure on the urethra (urinary tube), leading to urine flow restriction.

    Symptoms of BPH include:

    • Slow or prolonged urination
    • Difficulty initiating urination
    • Frequent and urgent need to urinate
    • Increased nighttime urination frequency
    • Intermittent urination flow
    • Sensation of incomplete bladder emptying
    • Urinary tract infections
    • Bladder stones

    Laser prostatectomy swiftly alleviates many of these urinary symptoms and offers quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery. It can be performed as an outpatient procedure or may require a brief overnight hospital stay.

    Furthermore, laser prostatectomy can prevent or manage complications arising from obstructed urine flow, such as:

    • Kidney or bladder damage
    • Recurrent urinary tract infections
    • Urinary incontinence or urinary retention
    • Hematuria (blood in the urine)
    • Bladder stones

    FAQ's

    The duration before resuming light physical activities after laser surgery varies depending on the type of procedure. Typically, it takes about two weeks before you can engage in light physical activities again.

    After laser prostatectomy, it is important to adhere to specific care instructions: ➢ Keep the surgical wound clean and refrain from soaking the dressing while bathing, following the doctor's advice for wound care. ➢ Avoid engaging in heavy physical activities for the next six weeks. ➢ Refrain from prolonged periods of sitting. ➢ If necessary, take pain medications as prescribed to manage any postoperative discomfort.

    Laser prostatectomy is generally safer than other prostate procedures, but there is still a small risk of complications. These can include: ➢ Increased urgency or frequency of urination ➢ Urinary incontinence ➢ Retrograde ejaculation ➢ Urethral strictures
