In Yaroslavl began to apply a gentle laser method of treatment of prostate adenoma

In the Clinical Hospital No. 9 of Yaroslavl, surgeons mastered modern technology for the treatment of prostate adenoma - thulium laser enucleation. The method allows you to remove excess prostate tissue without incisions on the stomach and external scars. The operation is carried out through the urethra.

During the intervention, the doctor using a laser carefully separates and removes the overgrown prostate tissue. Unlike the methods in which it is burned, during enucleation, the tissue is excreted, which allows you to effectively eliminate the manifestations of the disease.

One of the advantages of the technology is the small depth of the laser beam - about 0.2 mm. It also contributes to the rapid sealing of blood vessels, so that blood loss during surgery remains minimal. This makes the method suitable, including for some patients taking blood thinners.

According to experts, during the procedure, up to 90% of the overgrown prostate tissue can be removed. Due to this, the likelihood of re-development of adenoma is significantly reduced.

Recovery after surgery also takes relatively little time. Usually, the urinary catheter is removed the next day after the intervention, and discharge from the hospital is possible in two to three days.
