All About HoLEP
Why Laser Has Surpassed the Conventional Technique
What is HoLEP?
HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) is a minimally invasive procedure. The prostate tissue obstructing urinary flow is removed endoscopically, without external incisions, by enucleating the entire transition zone of the prostate.
Who is it for?
Ideal for men over 50 with moderate to severe urinary symptoms (weak stream, getting up at night). There is no prostate size limit (60 g, 120 g, 180 g or larger), making it the definitive alternative to continuous medication.
HoLEP vs. TURP
Unlike conventional “scraping” (TURP), HoLEP removes much more obstructive tissue, resulting in an almost zero reoperation rate at 10 years, minimal bleeding and the possibility of operating on patients taking anticoagulants.
What is recovery like?
Short hospital stay (1 to 2 days). The urinary catheter is removed on day 1. Return to light activities occurs within 1 to 2 weeks. Improvement in urinary flow is noticed within the first weeks, with progressive and significant relief.
The Importance of the Surgeon
Experience and Learning Curve
HoLEP is technically more demanding than TURP. The learning curve required for proficiency limits the number of qualified surgeons in São Paulo.
Complete Preoperative Assessment
IPSS, uroflowmetry, ultrasound, laboratory tests and anesthetic assessment to ensure maximum safety.
High-Precision Procedure
Dr. Bruno Benigno performs HoLEP with specific training and extensive accumulated experience, delivering consistent results at a leading hospital.
Histopathological Analysis
All removed tissue is analyzed. In 5 to 10% of cases the examination reveals incidental cancer, allowing early diagnosis and timely treatment.
Structured Follow-up
Regular visits at 15 days, 3 months and 12 months after surgery to ensure full functional rehabilitation and patient satisfaction.
