What is HoLEP?
A transurethral laser procedure that removes the obstructing prostate tissue completely — no incisions, tissue sent to pathology, durable results.
Read about the procedure →Why HoLEP?
Works at any prostate size, the lowest retreatment rate of any BPH procedure, favorable bleeding profile, most patients home the same day.
Compare the options →Why not wait?
Untreated symptoms carry real costs — sleep, falls, sexual function — and waiting until medication fails can mean a harder operation later.
See the evidence →What recovery looks like
The honest, week-by-week version — catheter at home, what's normal, and the few things that warrant a call.
