AT LAST, A TRULY MINIMALLY INVASIVE THERAPY FOR ALL PROSTATE PATIENTS TROUBLED BY SIGNIFICANT BLADDER OUTFLOW SYMPTOMS DUE TO ENLARGED PROSTATE

DEAR VISITOR,

What you are about to read may change your entire outlook towards Health Care of your Prostate patients. So do spare a few minutes of your time to read on. Till now TURP has been the GOLD STANDARD therapy for the patients requiring surgical intervention for symptomatic enlarged prostate (BPH). The gold standard comes with its silver standard of side effects, complications, delayed recovery and re-operation rates. Thus it is not safe from minus points. Today, technology has far advanced to able to provide a true minimally invasive therapy for BPH. Microwave therapy has come and gone, Laser can be used in very selective group of patients and patient still resorts to TURP.
