    Overview

    Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This innovative technique removes all of the benign prostate adenoma tissue that blocks urine flow, offering long-lasting relief with minimal recovery time.

    At TidalHealth, HoLEP is performed by Griffith Batstone, MD, FRCS, FRACS, FRCSC, a highly skilled urologist specializing in this cutting-edge approach. With extensive expertise in laser prostate surgery, Dr. Batstone provides patients with precise, effective treatment options designed to improve urinary function and overall quality of life.

    Benefits of HoLEP

    • Minimally invasive: No incisions, reducing the risk of complications.
    • Long-lasting results: Effectively removes benign prostate tissue with virtually zero likelihood of repeat required.
    • Quick recovery: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and a shorter catheterization period.
    • Lower bleeding risk: Decreased risk of bleeding and blood transfusions.
    • Improved urinary flow: Provides significant relief from BPH symptoms.

    Who is a candidate for HoLEP?

    HoLEP is recommended for men experiencing moderate to severe BPH symptoms, such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, or difficulty emptying the bladder. It is especially beneficial for those who have not responded well to medication or other treatments.


    The HoLEP procedure

    During HoLEP, a laser is used to carefully remove excess prostate tissue, which is then extracted through the urethra. This technique allows for precise tissue removal with minimal impact on surrounding structures. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and most patients go home the same day.


    Recovery and Aftercare

    • Patients may experience mild discomfort and temporary urinary urgency.
    • A catheter is typically required for a short period post-surgery (1-2 days).
    • Most individuals return to normal activities within a week.
    • Full benefits, including improved urinary function, are noticeable immediately with catheter removal.

    Why Choose TidalHealth for HoLEP?

    At TidalHealth, our expert urologists specialize in state-of-the-art treatments for BPH. With cutting-edge technology and patient-centered care, we ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. Our team provides effective, minimally invasive solutions for improved prostate health.
