The Institute of Urology in C Scheme, Jaipur, stands as a leading center for advanced urological care, particularly specializing in painless laser prostate surgery. Recently, the institute showcased its expertise by successfully performing a challenging HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) surgery on an elderly patient with an enormous prostate gland weighing over 210 grams.
The patient, who had been struggling with severe urinary complaints, underwent the procedure in a single sitting, an impressive feat considering the size of the prostate. HoLEP is known for its precision and minimally invasive nature, allowing the surgeon to enucleate the prostate tissue with the use of a high-powered laser. What makes this case particularly remarkable is that despite the significant size of the prostate, the surgery was completed without the need for any blood transfusion—an indicator of both the skill of the surgical team and the effectiveness of the HoLEP technique.
Post-operatively, the patient has experienced a complete resolution of his urinary symptoms. He is now comfortable, with no lingering complaints, underscoring the success of the procedure. The patient’s recovery was smooth, and he was able to return to normal activities without the prolonged downtime that often accompanies traditional prostate surgeries.
This case not only highlights the capabilities of the Institute of Urology but also serves as a testament to the advancements in urological surgery, particularly in treating patients with significantly enlarged prostates. The post-operative picture of the removed prostate gland (as you can see below), offers a visual testament to the success and efficiency of the procedure.
The Institute of Urology continues to set new standards in urological care, offering patients in Jaipur and beyond access to world-class treatment options that are both effective and minimally invasive.
