Holmium laser enucleation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition among older men that causes enlargement of the prostate gland and urinary symptoms. In this procedure, a holmium laser is used to precisely remove the enlarged prostate tissue while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. This results in improved urine flow and relief of BPH symptoms. Holmium laser enucleation is considered a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgical procedures for BPH, with lower rates of complications and shorter recovery times.
