Interventions
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a surgical treatment use for men with bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) to improve their LUTS. During the procedure a thin telescope-like instrument is inserted into the urethra. The high-powered laser is then inserted through this instrument and used to carefully remove the excess prostate tissue that is causing obstruction of the urethra and contributing to the patient's lower urinary tract symptoms.
