Why the Holmium Laser (HoLEP) is a Game-Changer for Prostatectomy
Performance Benefits
A prostatectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part or all of the prostate gland. It is most commonly performed in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) causing urinary obstruction, or in cases of prostate cancer requiring radical removal.
Who Gets Prostatectomies
- Men with severe urinary symptoms due to BPH who do not respond to medication
- Men diagnosed with prostate cancer
- Those with complications such as recurrent urinary retention or bladder damage
How Does a Radical Prostatectomy Work?
A radical prostatectomy involves the removal of the entire prostate
gland and sometimes surrounding tissues, such as seminal vesicles,
while carefully preserving nerves and structures to maintain urinary
continence and sexual function where possible.
Why HoLEP is Better
HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) uses a highpowered laser to precisely remove obstructive prostate tissue.
Advantages
- Minimal bleeding due to laser coagulation
- Shorter catheterisation time and hospital stay
- Effective even for very large prostates
- Durable results with low retreatment rates
Why HoLEP is Better
Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP)
has been used since the 1980s to treat BPH. Today, it
is the most advanced and precise tool for endoscopic
prostatectomy, delivering safe and effective results.
Performance Benefits
Reliable
The holmium laser offers excellent coupling with a 200 μm optical fibre, making it highly effective for use with flexible ureterorenoscopes. It delivers high performance in both lithotripsy and surgical applications, including spinal surgery and haemorrhoid cutting, ensuring precision and efficiency across various medical disciplines.
Ultra-Quiet, Eco-Friendly Water Cooling System
Designed for silent operation, this advanced water cooling system features an environmentally friendly refrigeration mechanism with international-standard technology. Its super-silent design ensures a noise free clinical environment, while its high efficiency and durability support long-term, continuous use.
Steady Dual-Insurance Laser System
All components are sourced from reliable partners and must pass our rigorous in-house testing before being approved for production. In addition, we authorise independent third-party inspection organisations to verify the EMC performance of all electrical components, ensuring the highest standards of safety and reliability.

Its super-silent design ensures a noise free clinical environment, while its high efficiency and durability support long-term, continuous use.
Efficient Performance
The system delivers a maximum single-pulse energy of 4.0 J and a peak frequency of 40 Hz, significantly
reducing operation time and enhancing overall surgical efficiency.
Convenience and Intelligent Design
The large colour touch LCD screen offers an intuitive interface, while a clear, green adjustable aiming beam ensures precise targeting during procedures; the system supports various optical fibre specifications (200, 365, 550, 800, and 1000 μm), and its intelligent memory function automatically restores default settings to streamline setup and improve workflow efficiency.
Clinical Field Application
Urinary Stones: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder
Holmium lasers offer safer, minimally invasive alternatives for
urinary tract stone surgery, with high efficiency across all stone
types and minimal fragment migration
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is an effective solution for large kidney stones that cannot be removed with conventional RIRS, offering a reliable alternative to traditional PCNL methods.
Tissue surgery and ablation
Using a Holmium laser for precise cutting with complete
haemostasis enables effective management of ureteral
strictures, bladder neck incisions, and tumour resection,
leaving minimal bleeding and excellent outcomes.
