The HoLEP procedure is quicker and less invasive than other surgical procedures, like the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK560884\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">transurethral resection of the prostate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (TURP).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide to the HoLEP procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Anesthesia<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

While some patients may have to stay in the hospital overnight, most can leave the following day after doctors remove the catheter. Some bleeding may occur after surgery, but urine should be free of blood 12 hours later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>HoLEP is Safer<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HoLEP <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4446381\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is safer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than other surgical options. It is more efficient than other therapies, like TURP, and at least as effective.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>HoLEP Produces Better Outcomes<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comparing HoLEP to TURP makes sense, given that the latter is the gold standard of surgical BPH treatments. Because research is finding <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4446381\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HoLEP to be superior<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, however, it may soon supplant TURP as the top option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HoLEP <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auajournals.org\/doi\/10.1016\/j.juro.2009.11.034\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">causes recurrent symptoms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in just 1% of patients, compared to 7.4% for TURP.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>HoLEP Requires Shorter Catheterization<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The postoperative catheterization time is significantly shorter for HoLEP patients than for TURP patients. HoLEP patients also spend less time in the hospital.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>HoLEP Requires Fewer Transfusions<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For patients whose prostates are extremely large, doctors often recommend <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldjournal.net\/article\/S0090-4295(08)00346-4\/fulltext\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">open prostatectomy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When performing an OP, surgeons make an incision to gain direct access to the prostate. Because OP is highly invasive, it\u2019s considered a risky surgery. Doctors use it to treat prostate cancer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0302283807010950\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When compared<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with OP, HoLEP requires fewer transfusions. It results in less blood loss and shorter hospital stays and catheterization times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>HoLEP May Be the New Gold Standard<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HoLEP also <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4446381\/table\/tbl03\/?report=objectonly\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">compares favorably<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with other surgical prostate treatment options like laser photo-vaporization (PVP), and thulium laser enucleation (ThuLEP).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HoLEP relieves the symptoms of BPH in almost <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eu-focus.europeanurology.com\/article\/S2405-4569(20)30147-4\/fulltext\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">75% of surgery recipients<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> up to 10 years after surgery. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liebertpub.com\/doi\/10.1089\/end.2020.0337\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some medical sources<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> claim that HoLEP\u2019s success rate is as high as 80.5%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As surgeons adopt the procedure and perfect their skills, the success rate may climb higher. After 2017, doctors reported success rates of over 87%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>HoLEP Procedure Side Effects<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite being a low-risk and high-reward intervention, HoLEP may cause some side effects. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bmcurol.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12894-019-0570-5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16% to 44%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of HoLEP patients may experience urinary incontinence or leakage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other possible postoperative health problems are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adverse reactions to anesthetics and bleeding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Injury to the prostate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urethra injury<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bladder injury<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood in the urine that does not clear up 12 hours after the operation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bladder infection<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/erectile-dysfunction\/ed-after-prostate-surgery\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Erectile dysfunction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it is superior to OP and TURP, HoLEP is just as likely to cause ED. Fortunately, FDA-approved drugs like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/category\/erectile-dysfunction\/viagra\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viagra<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/category\/erectile-dysfunction\/cialis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cialis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are effective treatments for postsurgical erectile dysfunction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Recovery From a HoLEP Procedure<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ouh.nhs.uk\/urology\/services\/documents\/holep.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">average duration<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of a HoLEP procedure is one to two hours. HoLEP patients may leave the hospital on the day of the surgery or the day after. Recovery after a HoLEP is faster than after other surgical prostate treatment solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the procedure, patients can generally resume their daily routines in about two weeks. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.endourology.org\/education-articles\/holmium-laser-enucleation-of-the-prostate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doctors recommend<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that patients avoid lifting anything heavier than 10 pounds for at least a week and abstain from sexual intercourse for at least two weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activities involving straddling are off-limits for a month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients on anticoagulants (blood thinners) can resume their medication five to seven days after surgery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To hasten recovery, doctors recommend drinking plenty of fluids. By flushing the bladder, fluids help the body eliminate bloody urine faster. Frequent and painful urination may occur for several months after the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Should You Consider HoLEP?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your BPH does not respond to medications and alternative treatments, HoLEP may be an option for you. HoLEP may be an option even if you\u2019re taking blood thinners because the laser cauterizes the wounds it makes when cutting, which results in less bleeding than other prostate-reducing procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>eDrugstore Can Help<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, in addition to urinary problems, BPH can cause erectile dysfunction.
