the prostage laser turp procedure can retain the integrity of urethral mucosa, or continuity, in line with anatomical physiological characteristics.
the following advantages for the turp procedure is as belows:
Removal surgery can be avoided blind, blind bleeding shortcomings.The majority of cases is without bladder irrigation, and washing time can be shortened.Catheter staying time is short, no traction, reduced bladder spasm.
Except that, here are the most important advantage of prostate laser turp procedure.
rapid postoperative recovery and the shorten bed time, avoiding the cardiovascular and pulmonary complications,avoiding the damage and defects of the bladder neck caused by a urinary tract infection bleeding, urethral stricture, urinary incontinence, epididymitis, complications such as retrograde ejaculation.
In additional, here is the introduction to the laser treatment
Transurethral resection of the benign prostatic hyperplasia is only one of the prostate cancer treatment, There are four main methods of laser therapy: laser ablation, contact laser vaporization, interstitial laser result-oriented, visual laser ablation of the prostate.
These technologies are all in the same principle: The laser beam pass through the urethra into the prostate, laser energy emitted to shrink prostate tissue, damage. These operations need to be carried out under anesthesia, postoperative need for hospitalization. In the postoperative period,Laser-treated patients are receiving less blood loss, compared to the transurethral resection of the prostate and it’s faster than the turp recovery.
However, laser treatment has two drawbacks: it can only be less effective treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy, and unable to obtain tissue samples for screening prostate cancer.
