Start nowHoLEP (Holmium laser prostate surgery) is an alternative to conventional trans transurethral resection of the prostate for the treatment of bladder outflow obstruction. As men get older, the prostate increases in size. This can cause obstruction to the bladder. HoLEP is a modern way of treating this condition.
