What is the Thulium Laser (THULEP)?

Thulium laser enema (ThuLEP) is an advanced, minimally invasive technique used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This procedure uses high-precision laser energy to remove and dissect prostatic tissue obstructing urinary flow, providing extremely accurate vaporization and dissection. This newer technology allows for a less invasive surgical approach and is considered an advanced alternative to traditional surgery. As a result, the treatment is safe and effective, with less bleeding, shorter hospital stays, and faster functional recovery, improving urinary symptoms and the patient's quality of life.

In what procedures is it indicated?

Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Lithotripsy

Thulium laser treatment is indicated for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who experience urinary symptoms related to prostate enlargement. In some cases, it can be combined with procedures such as lithotripsy. It offers an advanced alternative to traditional surgery, with high efficacy and precision, and a minimally invasive approach that improves urinary flow and the safety of the procedure.

Benefits of the Thulium Laser (THULEP)

1

High efficiency

The Thulium laser allows the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia with a state-of-the-art technology that offers extremely precise vaporization and resection of the obstructive prostatic tissue, achieving high efficacy in improving urinary symptoms.
2

Shorter hospital stay

The procedure, being minimally invasive, reduces the need for prolonged hospitalization, favoring a shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery.
3

Less bleeding

The precision of the laser helps to minimize bleeding during the procedure, increasing the safety of the procedure and reducing the risk of complications.
4

Rapid functional recovery

The patient usually experiences a faster functional recovery, with an early return to their usual activity and less postoperative discomfort.
