Laser prostate surgery generally takes 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the prostate and the laser technique used.
Most patients remain hospitalized for 1 to 2 days, while some minimally invasive laser procedures may allow discharge within 24 hours.
Spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used depending on the patient's medical condition and the type of laser procedure.

Laser Prostate Surgery is an advanced minimally invasive treatment used to relieve urinary obstruction caused by Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate. Unlike conventional open surgery, laser procedures remove or vaporize excess prostate tissue through the natural urinary passage without making any external incision. This results in less bleeding, reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery while providing long-lasting relief from urinary symptoms.
India has become one of the world's leading destinations for Laser Prostate Surgery, attracting thousands of international patients from Africa, the Middle East, and other countries. Patients choose India because of its internationally accredited hospitals, experienced laser urologists, state-of-the-art endourology centers, and affordable treatment costs compared to many developed countries.
Recent advancements in laser prostate surgery have transformed the treatment of enlarged prostate. Leading hospitals in India now offer Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP), Thulium Laser Enucleation (ThuLEP), GreenLight™ Laser Photoselective Vaporization (PVP), Moses™ Laser Technology, High-Power Holmium Laser Systems, AI-assisted Surgical Planning, 3D High-Definition Endoscopic Imaging, Advanced Morcellation Systems, Digital Endourology Platforms, and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. These technologies improve surgical precision, reduce bleeding, shorten catheterization time, and provide durable long-term symptom relief. Modern evidence supports HoLEP as one of the most durable surgical options for prostates of all sizes, while newer minimally invasive treatments provide additional options for selected patients.
Whether you have moderate or severe urinary symptoms, recurrent urinary retention, bladder stones, or a large prostate that has not responded to medications, India offers world-class laser prostate surgery with international standards of safety, quality, and personalized patient care.
Patients who may require laser prostate surgery often experience:
Early treatment helps prevent bladder damage, recurrent infections, and kidney complications.
Several factors increase the risk of developing enlarged prostate, including:
Before laser prostate surgery, patients undergo a complete urological evaluation to determine prostate size, urinary obstruction, and bladder function.
Diagnostic tests may include:
International patients can submit their medical reports online for an expert opinion before travelling to India.
Laser prostate surgery is performed by experienced urologists using advanced endoscopic equipment inserted through the urethra without making any external incision.
The urologist evaluates prostate size, urinary symptoms, bladder function, and overall health to select the most appropriate laser technique.
A high-powered Holmium laser precisely removes the enlarged prostate tissue while preserving the outer capsule. It is highly effective for prostates of all sizes and offers durable long-term outcomes.
Thulium laser technology provides precise tissue removal with excellent bleeding control and rapid recovery.
A high-energy laser vaporizes enlarged prostate tissue, immediately relieving urinary obstruction while minimizing bleeding.
Depending on the procedure, the removed prostate tissue is either vaporized or extracted through the natural urinary passage for laboratory examination.
Laser energy seals blood vessels during surgery, reducing blood loss and making laser surgery a suitable option for many carefully selected patients, including some taking blood-thinning medications after medical evaluation.
A urinary catheter is usually placed temporarily and is commonly removed within 24 to 48 hours, depending on recovery.
Suitable for small, medium, and very large prostates, providing excellent long-term symptom relief.
A minimally invasive laser procedure known for precision and faster recovery.
Ideal for selected patients with small to moderately enlarged prostates, particularly when minimizing bleeding is a priority.
Advanced laser systems precisely vaporize obstructing prostate tissue without external incisions.
Most patients experience significant improvement in urinary symptoms within a few days after surgery.
Post-operative care includes:
Laser prostate surgery provides long-lasting relief from urinary obstruction and significantly improves quality of life. Most patients experience stronger urine flow, improved bladder emptying, fewer nighttime bathroom visits, and better sleep after recovery.
Compared with conventional surgery, laser procedures generally involve less bleeding, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and a lower need for repeat treatment, particularly with HoLEP. Most patients return to normal daily activities within one to two weeks, although strenuous activities should be avoided until approved by the treating urologist.

Yes. Laser prostate surgery in India is significantly more affordable than in many developed countries while maintaining international standards of urological care.
The most suitable procedure depends on prostate size, symptoms, overall health, and the surgeon's assessment. HoLEP is often recommended for prostates of all sizes, while GreenLight™ Laser Therapy and ThuLEP are appropriate for selected patients.
Recent advancements include Moses™ Laser Technology, HoLEP, ThuLEP, GreenLight™ Laser Therapy, AI-assisted surgical planning, high-definition digital endoscopy, advanced morcellation systems, and ERAS recovery protocols.
Laser surgery generally offers advantages such as reduced bleeding, shorter catheterization, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stays. The most appropriate treatment depends on individual patient factors and the urologist's recommendation.
Yes. International patients receive complete assistance with online consultations, medical visas, airport transfers, accommodation, interpreter services, and follow-up care.
Most patients resume light daily activities within 5 to 7 days, while complete recovery generally takes 2 to 4 weeks.
