HoLEP

HoLEP stands for Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate. It is a minimally invasive surgical treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate.

At Spanish Fork Clinic, our Urology specialists offer expert care using Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP). This minimally invasive procedure provides long-term relief from BPH symptoms with minimal pain and faster recovery.

Why It’s Effective

HoLEP is considered the gold standard for treating BPH of any size. It offers long-lasting relief with a very low retreatment rate. Studies show dramatic improvements in urinary flow and quality of life for most patients. 

How It Works

The procedure is performed through the urethra, requiring no external incisions. Excess prostate tissue is removed and sent for analysis, restoring normal urinary function. 

What to Expect

• Short hospital stay—most patients go home the next day.
• Quick recovery—many resume normal activities within a few days.
• Next-day catheter removal in most cases.
• Minimal pain and low risk of complications.
