Laser Prostate Surgery
Expert Laser Surgery for Enlarged Prostate Treatment
Laser surgery for the prostate is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition in aging men characterized by prostate enlargement. This advanced surgery uses precise laser technology to remove excess prostate tissue, improving urinary flow and relieving symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, and weak urine stream.
Dr. Neeraj Agrawal, a leading urologist at Regency Super Speciality Hospital, specializes in performing laser prostate surgeries with expert precision to ensure optimal patient outcomes. This technique offers benefits over traditional surgery, including reduced bleeding risk, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and less need for catheters. Dr. Agrawal’s patient-centered approach combines the latest technology with personalized care to restore comfort and enhance quality of life for men affected by BPH.
Why Choose Laser Prostate Surgery?
Laser prostate surgery has become a preferred treatment for BPH because it offers several advantages over traditional surgical methods. Some benefits of this procedure include:
- Minimally Invasive: Requires no large incisions, resulting in less pain and quicker recovery.
- Reduced Bleeding: Ideal for patients with blood clotting disorders or those on blood thinners.
- Quicker Recovery: Most patients can return home the same day or within 24 hours.
- Improved Urinary Function: Provides rapid relief from urinary symptoms.
- Lower Risk of Complications: Reduced chances of infection and post-surgical complications.
Types of Laser Prostate Surgery By Dr. Neeraj Agrawal
- Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP): This procedure uses a laser to remove obstructive prostate tissue while preserving the healthy portion. It is ideal for patients with larger prostates and provides long-lasting relief from BPH symptoms.
- Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP): PVP uses a laser to vaporize excess prostate tissue, relieving urinary obstruction. It is suitable for patients with moderate to severe BPH and offers minimal post-operative discomfort.
- Thulium Laser Resection of the Prostate (ThuLEP): ThuLEP uses advanced laser technology to remove prostate tissue with high precision. It is effective for various prostate sizes and is associated with quick recovery and minimal bleeding.

प्रोस्टेट के लिए लेजर सर्जरी पर अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न (FAQs)
प्रोस्टेट के लिए लेजर सर्जरी एक न्यूनतम आक्रामक प्रक्रिया है जिसका उपयोग सौम्य प्रोस्टेटिक हाइपरप्लासिया (बीपीएच) के इलाज के लिए किया जाता है, एक ऐसी स्थिति जहां प्रोस्टेट ग्रंथि बढ़ जाती है और मूत्र संबंधी समस्याओं का कारण बनती है। लेजर का उपयोग मूत्र प्रवाह को अवरुद्ध करने वाले अतिरिक्त ऊतक को हटाने या सिकोड़ने के लिए किया जाता है।
बीपीएच वाले पुरुष जिनमें महत्वपूर्ण मूत्र संबंधी लक्षण होते हैं, जैसे बार-बार पेशाब आना, पेशाब शुरू करने या रोकने में कठिनाई, कमजोर प्रवाह, या मूत्र प्रतिधारण, आमतौर पर अच्छे उम्मीदवार होते हैं। लेजर सर्जरी उन रोगियों के लिए भी एक विकल्प है जो दवाएँ नहीं ले सकते हैं या दीर्घकालिक समाधान पसंद करते हैं।
प्रोस्टेट के लिए लेजर सर्जरी में आमतौर पर 30 मिनट से दो घंटे तक का समय लगता है, जो लेजर प्रक्रिया के प्रकार और प्रोस्टेट के आकार पर निर्भर करता है।
लेजर प्रोस्टेट सर्जरी न्यूनतम आक्रामक होती है और आमतौर पर सामान्य या स्पाइनल एनेस्थीसिया के तहत की जाती है, इसलिए मरीजों को प्रक्रिया के दौरान दर्द महसूस नहीं होना चाहिए। इसके बाद हल्की असुविधा हो सकती है, लेकिन दर्द प्रबंधन के विकल्प उपलब्ध हैं।
