HoLEP Treatment in Patna
Advanced HoLEP laser surgery for enlarged prostate (BPH), offering effective symptom relief, minimal bleeding, and faster recovery with modern minimally invasive techniques.
What is HoLEP?
Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) is an advanced minimally invasive laser procedure used to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate. As the prostate enlarges, it can block the flow of urine, leading to frequent urination, weak urine stream, difficulty emptying the bladder, and interrupted sleep.
At Dr. Rahul Janak Sinha’s Urology Clinic, HoLEP is performed using advanced laser technology to remove the enlarged prostate tissue while preserving surrounding structures. The procedure is suitable for prostates of various sizes and provides long-lasting relief with minimal discomfort and a quicker recovery compared to conventional surgery.

HoLEP Procedure
- Step 1: Medical Evaluation : A detailed assessment, including medical history, physical examination, urine tests, and imaging, is performed to confirm the need for HoLEP.
- Step 2: Surgical Planning : The procedure is planned based on the size of the prostate and the patient’s overall health.
- Step 3: Laser Surgery : A holmium laser is used through a thin endoscope inserted via the urethra to carefully remove the enlarged prostate tissue without external incisions.
- Step 4: Recovery & Observation : Patients are monitored after surgery, and a temporary urinary catheter may be placed until normal urination resumes.
- Step 5: Follow-up Care : Regular follow-up visits help monitor recovery, urinary function, and long-term treatment success.
Recovery After HoLEP
Most patients recover quickly after HoLEP and can return to normal daily activities within a short period. Mild urinary discomfort or temporary blood in the urine may occur during the initial recovery phase and usually resolves with proper care.
Patients are advised to stay hydrated, avoid heavy lifting for a few weeks, take prescribed medications, and attend follow-up appointments to ensure optimal healing.
