Enlarged prostate, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), affects many men as they age. This condition can cause difficulty in urination, frequent nighttime visits to the bathroom, and reduced quality of life. Thankfully, medical advances like prostate laser surgery have made treatment safer, faster, and less painful.At Dr. Ninad Tamboli Urology Clinic in Navi Mumbai, patients receive expert care from a trusted urologist with over a decade of experience. In this blog, we’ll explain everything about laser prostate surgery in a simple, easy-to-understand manner.
Laser prostate surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat an enlarged prostate. Unlike traditional surgery, it uses laser energy to remove excess prostate tissue, allowing urine to flow normally.
HoLEP uses a holmium laser to remove enlarged prostate tissue. It’s highly effective for large prostates and often eliminates the need for further treatment.
GreenLight laser vaporizes excess prostate tissue. This technique reduces bleeding and is suitable for patients on blood thinners.
Thulium lasers provide precise tissue removal with minimal heat damage to surrounding areas. Recovery is usually quick and smooth.
Laser prostate surgery is performed under anesthesia, using a thin instrument called a cystoscope inserted through the urethra. The laser precisely targets and removes excess tissue that blocks urine flow.
Men with severe urinary symptoms, recurrent urinary tract infections, or bladder stones are potential candidates. It is particularly suitable for older men, patients on blood thinners, and those with large prostates.
Typically, 60–90 minutes, depending on prostate size, laser type, and patient’s health. Most patients have a short hospital stay.
The average cost of laser prostate surgery ranges from ₹1,50,000 to ₹3,50,000 in India.
Minimal discomfort due to its minimally invasive nature.
Usually 1 day or same-day discharge in some cases.
Light activities in 2–3 days; full recovery in 2–4 weeks.

Laser prostate surgery is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution for men with prostate enlargement. Early evaluation and timely treatment can improve urinary health and quality of life.
