Description

Prostate laser surgery is used to relieve moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate — a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). During prostate laser surgery, your doctor inserts a scope through the tip of your penis into the tube that carries urine from your bladder (urethra). The usual 'gold standard' surgery for enlarged prostate is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). TURP involves removing part of the prostate gland using a device passed through the urethra
