The growth of the prostate gland is characteristic for almost every man of mature age.
The most typical syndrome accompanying almost every man in this disease is the occurrence of problems with normal urination. These problems appear in view of the fact that a greatly expanded prostate gland begins to transmit the urinary tract around which it is located.
The most effective way to treat prostatic adenoma is to surgically remove the enlarged part of a benign tumor that interferes with the full functioning of the urethra.
In modern clinics for the treatment of prostatic adenoma, minimally invasive techniques for the removal of the overgrown parts of the tumor are increasingly being used.
This technique is based on the use of laser technology and is called TUR( laser transurethral resection).
Treatment of prostate adenoma with laser
The method of TUR( laser transurethral resection) is based on the fact that physicians no longer need to make tissue incisions in order to penetrate the prostate: they enter the prostate through the ureter, where a tumor that transcends the urethra and is removedcausing difficulties with urination.
The removal of the adenoma with the laser passes without the traditional surgical intervention( cutting and removing the pieces of the prostate with a laser), so the recovery period takes much less time.
Blood loss is minimized.
Tissue tissues seem to evaporate under the action of laser beams.
It can be added that the recovery period is shortened due to the fact that the operation is under spinal local anesthesia( an anesthetic injection), and the need for general anesthesia is completely eliminated.
To our great regret, in some of our clinics the outdated procedure of TUR( transurethral resection), where the operation is performed not with a laser, but with the use of a special scalpel, similar to a hollow tube, still operates. This tube is inserted into the urethra, and the doctor uses it to remove the interfering part of the adenoma that clamps the canal. This technique is more painful than removing the adenoma with a laser. In addition, the body requires more time to restore all its functions than after performing laser resection.
Treatment of adenoma with green laser
The laser with a green ray( GreenLight) is used in the newest method of controlling hyperplasia of the prostate .Thanks to this technique, instant relief from the symptoms of the disease is ensured. There is an improvement in the outflow of urine, a decrease in the time period spent for the operation and the rehabilitation period.
Photo-selective vaporization of the prostate gland is performed using an opto-fiber light guide and a special green laser beam. Laser vaporization of prostate adenoma is performed in a polyclinic, a surgical center or an outpatient department.
Thanks to the latest technology, patients are completely cured, without changing their habitual way of life.
There is no need for daily tablets.
The green laser beam neatly and virtually bloodlessly removes the proliferation of prostate tissue.
The average time taken for an operation is less than one hour.
Immediately after completion of the operation, patients feel a sharp improvement in their well-being.
