for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, can cause significant urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, weak stream, or difficulty fully emptying the bladder.
When medications or minimally invasive treatments are not enough, surgical options can provide effective, long-lasting relief.
These procedures remove or reduce excess prostate tissue, improve urine flow, and help restore quality of life for men experiencing moderate to severe BPH symptoms.
For men with moderate to severe symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) that do not respond to non-surgical treatments, surgical options are available to remove or reduce excess prostate tissue. These procedures aim to relieve urinary obstruction, improve urine flow, and enhance quality of life.
Aquablation Therapy
Aquablation Therapy uses a heat-free waterjet, precisely controlled by robotic technology, to remove excess prostate tissue. This procedure allows for accurate tissue removal while minimizing damage to surrounding areas, often resulting in faster recovery and reduced side effects compared to traditional surgery.
GreenLight Laser Therapy
GreenLight Laser Therapy uses a laser to heat and vaporize obstructive prostate tissue. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be performed on an outpatient basis, offering relief from urinary symptoms with less bleeding and shorter recovery times.
Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP)
HoLEP is a laser-based procedure that removes enlarged prostate tissue entirely, improving urine flow and reducing obstruction. This approach is highly effective for prostates of varying sizes and provides long-lasting results.
Simple Prostatectomy
For extremely large prostates, a Simple Prostatectomy may be necessary. This surgical procedure removes the obstructing portion of the prostate and is usually reserved for cases where other treatments are less effective or impractical.
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
TURP is a classic surgical procedure in which a portion of the prostate is removed via the urethra. It is considered the gold standard for BPH surgery and provides significant improvement in urinary symptoms.
Surgical options for BPH are highly effective for men with moderate to severe symptoms, especially when non-surgical treatments are no longer sufficient. These procedures can significantly improve urine flow, reduce complications from urinary retention, and enhance overall quality of life.
