How the HoLEP Procedure Works

Step 1

Laser Enucleation

  • A small scope is inserted through the urethra to access the prostate.
  • The holmium laser separates and removes the enlarged prostate tissue from the capsule.
  • Complete removal of the inner prostate restores strong urine flow.

Step 2

Morcellation (Tissue Removal)

  • The removed tissue is broken into smaller pieces.
  • The morcellator suctions out the tissue safely and efficiently.
  • No external incisions and minimal bleeding for faster recovery.
