Prostate Laser Surgery in Ludhiana is an advanced technique used to treat a variety of urinary and prostate problems for example - Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
A flexible instrument called a scope is inserted via the patient's penis through the urethra, the tube that carries the urine from the bladder to be passed out from the body.
This urethra is near the prostate gland. Through the scope, a laser is inserted to shrink and remove abnormal and enlarged tissues that may have obstructed the normal urine flow.
Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP):
In this procedure, the laser is used to remove the enlarged or excess prostate tissue obstructing the urethra. The tissue is then cut into small pieces that can be easily removed. This option is suitable to treat a severely enlarged prostate.
Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP):
In this technique, excess prostate tissue is treated by the laser such that it melts away, and the urinary channel widens.
Holmium Laser Ablation of the Prostate (HoLAP):
It is similar to Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP), but in this procedure, a different kind of laser is used.
It helps relieve symptoms like those associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, like:
Laser surgery in Ludhiana may also help in treating and preventing potential complications resulting from urine flow blockage, like:
The advantages of using laser therapy over traditional treatment options (such as medications, TURP or transurethral resection of the prostate and open prostatectomy) include:
You may need to consult with your doctor regarding modifying the dosages of certain medications like blood thinners.
Consult the doctor for instructions regarding eating and drinking before the procedure on the day of the surgery.
Antibiotics might be prescribed to prevent UTI and you’ll be instructed to arrange for someone to take you back home post-surgery.
During the procedure, a scope is inserted through the penis tip into the tube that carries urine from the urinary bladder (urethra) to be passed out of the body.
The prostate surrounds the urethra. The laser is inserted to shrink or cut the excess tissue of the prostate that blocks the urine flow. Depending upon the type of laser procedure, the tissue’s cut pieces are removed using certain instruments.
A urinary catheter is placed to ease the swelling that obstructs the urinary flow.

It depends on the type of laser surgery. It usually takes around 2 weeks before you can start doing light physical activities.
Prostate laser surgery improves urinary flow and its results are generally long-lasting.
Sometimes, laser surgery fails to tackle the issue of removing the entire mass of abnormal prostate tissue that blocks the urine flow or the tissue may grow back. In these cases, further treatment is needed.
Traditional TURP surgery can lead to more bleeding than laser surgery which may require a blood transfusion in some and a more extended hospital stay.
Hence, a laser is a better option, especially for the elderly.
The surgery has little effect on the subsequent erections. The neck of the bladder opens following the surgery causing retrograde/'backward' ejaculation, which is harmless.
The semen will be flushed out with the urine. It will have very little effect on your sexual activities.
Got to know about them from my friend. They got an appointment for only 299. Once the doctor confirmed that I needed the surgery they got me a fixed cost which included ALL the costs. No extra amounts were charged. Thank you Medfin
