Is HoLEP surgery painful?

The surgery itself is performed under anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort or urinary urgency may occur during the first days of recovery.

How long does HoLEP recovery take?

Holep recovery time varies depending on age and general health. Many patients resume light activities within a short period, though strenuous exercise should be avoided until cleared by the surgeon.

Is HoLEP better than TURP?

In many cases, HoLEP is considered a strong turp alternative, particularly for larger prostates. However, the best option depends on individual evaluation and prostate size.

What follow-up is needed after surgery abroad?
