ENDOSCOPIC & LASER PROSTATE SURGERY
The prostate is a small organ about the size of a walnut. It lies below the urinary bladder (where urine is stored) and surrounds the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder). The prostate makes a fluid that helps to nourish sperm as part of the semen (ejaculatory fluid).
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).
The type of laser surgery your doctor recommends will depend on several factors, including:
• The size of your prostate
• Your health
• The type of laser equipment available
Why it's done
Prostate laser surgery helps reduce urinary symptoms caused by BPH, including:
• Frequent, urgent need to urinate
• Difficulty starting urination
• Slow (prolonged) urination
• Increased frequency of urination at night
• Stopping and starting again while urinating
• The feeling you can't completely empty your bladder
• Urinary tract infections
Laser surgery might also be done to treat or prevent complications due to blocked urine flow, such as:
• Recurring urinary tract infections
• Kidney or bladder damage
• Inability to control urination or an inability to urinate at all
• Bladder stones
• Blood in your urine
