Details.
A micro-invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia using the EchoLaser system. An ultrasound probe is inserted into the rectum and two fine fibres are inserted through the perineum into the prostate to deliver the laser. The procedure is discussed beforehand, including whether a local or general anaesthetic is appropriate. Patients can usually return home the same day, with benefits expected within a few weeks. Benefits include rapid recovery, less pain, shorter hospital stays, reduced risk to sexual function and precise treatment without damage to healthy tissue.
