What is laser prostatectomy?
It is an operation to remove the obstructing part of the prostate gland which is causing your urinary symptoms, to allow free flow of urine.
What is the prostate?
It is a walnut sized gland that sits at the base of your bladder surrounding the
urethra (the tube through which you urinate). As you get older, the prostate
gland grows and can cause an obstruction to the flow of urine leaving the
bladder, thus causing problems with urination.
What are the advantages of having laser prostatectomy rather
than standard prostate surgery?
Laser prostatic surgery has a number of advantages over standard prostate
surgery (TURP). These include:
- Less bleeding
- Reduced catheterization time after the operation
- Reduced time in hospital
- Quicker recovery time
