Prostate treatments at Clinic Solingen now employ innovative thulium lasers
Solingen Hospital, a renowned medical institution in Germany, has broadened its treatment options for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) by introducing the Thulium Laser for the Thulium Laser-based Enucleation (ThuLEP) procedure. This innovative method joins the existing treatment options, which include the classic Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TUR-P) and minimally invasive procedures such as Holmium Laser Enucleation (HoLEP).
The ThuLEP procedure, first used at Solingen Hospital in 2015, allows for precise tissue removal, resulting in less bleeding and a faster recovery time. Excess prostate tissue is gently removed to relieve the urethra and improve urine flow. This method is particularly advantageous for patients with heart or lung diseases due to its minimally invasive nature.
Prof. Dr. Markus Heuser, the Chief Physician at the Urology Clinic at Solingen Hospital, oversees the implementation of these advanced treatments. For those seeking further information about the treatment of BPH, the Urology Clinic at Solingen Hospital and MVZ Klinikum Solingen Urology serve as valuable resources.
In addition to the Urology Clinic, the Radiology Clinic at Solingen Hospital specializes in interventional radiology, a growing specialty within radiology. Led by Prof. Dr. Sebastian Keil, the Radiology Clinic offers an arterial embolization of the prostate vessels, a minimally invasive procedure, and the Da Vinci Adenomenukleation with a surgical robot.
As always, the choice of surgery depends on the individual findings and the specific needs of each patient. Solingen Hospital remains committed to providing comprehensive, high-quality care for its patients, and further information about the Urology Clinic at Solingen Hospital can be found online at www.klinikumsolingen.de.
