Dr. Devendu Shah, an expert in laser stone and prostate treatment in Baner, specializes in addressing issues related to the prostate gland. The prostate, a crucial gland situated beneath the bladder and in front of the rectum, plays a vital role in the male reproductive system. It produces fluids that contribute to semen, including enzymes that aid in semen liquefaction. However, as men age, the prostate gland tends to enlarge, leading to blockage in the urinary passage.
In cases where prostate enlargement or prostate cancer becomes a concern, Dr. Devendu Shah performs prostatectomy, a surgical procedure aimed at partially or entirely removing the prostate. This surgical intervention is commonly required for individuals suffering from prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is an enlarged prostate.
Dr. Devendu Shah’s expertise lies in laser stone and prostate treatment, offering advanced techniques to address urinary issues caused by prostate-related conditions. With his specialized knowledge and experience, he provides comprehensive care and treatment options to patients in Baner and surrounding areas.
Prostate surgery can be done under general anesthesia, which puts you to sleep, or spinal anesthesia, which numbs the lower half of your body. Your Urologist will recommend a type of anesthesia based on your situation.
Prostate Surgery In Baner
During prostate laser surgery, a urologist inserts a scope through the tip of your penis into the tube that carries urine from your bladder (urethra). The urethra is surrounded by the prostate. A laser is passed through the scope. The laser releases energy that is used to shrink or to eliminate the excess tissue that is blocking the urethra and preventing urine flow.
There are several types of prostate laser surgery such as:
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLAP). Due to the hemostatic abilities of laser, it produces minimal bleeding and it the preferred method for patients with heart disease.
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). The laser is used to remove the enlarged tissue( prostate lobes) that is blocking the urethra. Another tool, called a morcellator, is then used to cut the prostate tissue into small pieces that are easily removed. This method is known to give the most lasting good results. This technique is considered the gold standard in surgery for benign prostate enlargement the world over.
