What is a holmium laser prostatectomy?
This technology uses a laser to remove the prostate tissue that is blocking the urethra. A small flexible fibre delivers laser energy (about 100 watts) to the prostate. The surgeon controls the direction and delivery of the laser energy, rapidly vaporising and destroying the enlarged prostate tissue, which is blocking the urethra.
