Holmium laser surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) – HoLEP
A modern solution for improved urination and quality of life
An enlarged prostate is one of the most common urological conditions in men over the age of 50.
If medications no longer help or cause side effects, HoLEP surgery offers a long-term solution without the need for daily medication.

It is one of the most modern and effective methods in contemporary urology.
What is HoLEP?
HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) is a minimally invasive prostate surgery in which:
the enlarged portion of the prostate is precisely removed using a holmium laser,
the procedure is performed through the urethrawithout incisions,
restoring full urine flow
-
High precision
-
Minimal bleeding
-
Rapid recovery
Fast and noticeable results
- Urination improves within the first days after surgery
- Reduced need to get up at night to urinate
- Weak urine flow and the sensation of incomplete bladder emptying are eliminated
- In most cases:
- 1 night in the hospital
- the patient goes home the next day
This is a significant advantage compared to traditional surgical procedures.
After HoLEP surgery:
- typically there is no longer a need to take prostate medications,
- the pharmacological burden on the body is reduced,
- there are no medication-related side effects (dizziness, drop in blood pressure, impact on potency).
Patients often say:
“Finally, I can live without pills.”

Short waiting time – a fast solution
The European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines clearly state that:
- HoLEP is one of the most effective surgical treatments currently available for BPH
- it is suitable for:
- both small,
- and very large prostates,
- HoLEP provides:
- a stable long-term result,
- a very low risk of needing repeat surgery.
Therefore, HoLEP is often considered to be the gold standard in prostate surgery.
Thanks to laser technology:
- postoperative pain is minimal,
- it is possible to return to daily activities relatively quickly,
- most patients feel well already within the first weeks.
Specific recommendations are provided individually during the consultation.
HoLEP is an excellent choice if:
- medications no longer provide sufficient effect,
- there are significant urinary symptoms,
- the prostate is enlarged,
- there is a desire for a long-term solutionrather than years of medication use,
- a quick return to everyday life is important.
