A Modern Holmium Laser Started Operating in a Hospital in Lviv

A new holmium laser has started operating at the Second Medical Association in Lviv, helping to treat prostate adenoma.

This method is one of the most effective in the world. **Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate** allows removing excess tissue without incisions, using laser energy.

“The urology department of the Second Medical Association of Lviv has had a holmium laser for several months now — the most modern equipment, the only one in Western Ukraine… Each year, we perform surgeries on more than a thousand patients in the urology department,” said the general director Vasyl Trunkwalter.

The laser can also fragment stones and remove tumors. HoLEP has advantages: minimal invasiveness, low risk of bleeding, and quick patient recovery at home.
