Advances in prostate lasers are continually being made. From the first 80w green laser, to the Cyber Tulio or the XPS green laser, both 180w, only 10 years have passed and the differences are considerable.
The prostate laser technique has evolved to the point that today it is possible to operate on prostates of sizes that were previously unthinkable. Especially thanks to such important contributions as the front firing fiber that can be used in Cyber Tulio laser, which allows us to perform two different techniques to the classic photovaporization of minor lasers, such as vaporesection and enucleation.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
These types of lasers are used to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, which is an enlargement of the prostate gland very common in men from 50-60 years of age. The advantages of this type of prostate laser over traditional techniques are many, since this surgery has no bleeding, which makes it a minimally aggressive and invasive surgery. And it can currently treat any type of patient and almost any size prostate.
Recovery after prostate laser
In addition, recovery is very fast, leaving no after-effects of incontinence or impotence. Generally, the patient can go home in 24 hours without a catheter and return to normal activity in 3 or 4 days. A little rest during those days is sufficient.
