The prostate gland, which is normally the size of a chestnut, can reach the size of a tangerine or even an orange, and this situation is called ‘Benign prostatic enlargement (BPH)’. with benign prostate enlargement prostate cancer are different diseases. While BPH does not cause prostate cancer, both diseases can coexist.

Prostate enlargement is manifested by changes in the urination routine. After a while, prostate enlargement starts to block the urinary tract of the patient and prevents the flow of urine. Depending on the degree of obstruction, complaints about urination occur in patients.
Sometimes the prostate can enlarge without symptoms. Prostate health is important in maintaining kidney health. As the prostate enlarges, it also negatively affects the urinary tract of the person. Sudden urinary obstruction, urinary tract inflammation, urinary bladder disorders and disorders that can reach up to kidney failure are some of the known negative effects of the disease.

THULIUM(THULEP) SURGERY IN THE TREATMENT OF PROSTATE GROWTH
Thulium (ThuLEP) is the most advanced laser method of closed prostate surgeries. In the method, the prostate capsule and enlarged prostate tissue are separated from each other by entering through the urethra. The enlarged prostate tissue, which is thrown into the bladder, is then disintegrated with the help of a tool called a morcellator and removed from the urinary hole. ThuLEP laser surgeries can be shorter than conventional methods. Depending on the condition of the surgery, the length of stay in the hospital is shortened. Complete and correct removal of the prostate reduces the risk of recurrence of the disease to zero. Patients are usually discharged within 1-2 days, and they can return to their normal lives after a week of rest.
