Patient resources
Clear answers before prostate surgery
A growing library of practical articles and short videos about enlarged prostate, HoLEP, recovery and procedure choice — designed around the questions patients actually ask.
Planned article series
Guides we are building
What tests should be done before prostate surgery?
PSA, ultrasound, prostate size, residual urine, uroflowmetry and when MRI, cystoscopy or urodynamics may matter.
HoLEP recovery — week by week
Catheter, burning, urgency, blood in urine, activity, travel and the expected timeline to a new baseline.
Urinary leakage after HoLEP
Why temporary leakage can occur, sphincter preservation, pelvic-floor recovery and when to seek review.
HoLEP and ejaculation
What typically changes, what does not, and how sexual function and fertility discussions differ.
HoLEP for a very large prostate
Why prostate size alone does not require an abdominal or robotic approach in experienced hands.
Planned comparison series
Choosing between procedures
HoLEP vs robotic simple prostatectomy
Same goal of adenoma removal, but a different surgical route, recovery profile and resource requirement.
HoLEP vs UroLift vs Rezūm
Remove, retract or shrink — how the fundamental treatment strategy differs.
HoLEP vs TURP
Anatomical enucleation versus resection, including durability and suitability across prostate sizes.

Short explanations from Dr Rajiv Goel
How en-bloc HoLEP works
The surgical plane, enucleation, sphincter-conscious apical release, morcellation and the resulting open urinary channel.
Why skill matters more than the laser
The role of anatomy recognition, plane development, apical dissection and surgeon experience.
Sphincter-preserving HoLEP
How careful apical release is intended to reduce trauma near the external urinary sphincter.
