With more than 14 randomized controlled trials, spanning more than a
decade, it is no surprise that the AUA and EAU both support HoLAP and
HoLEP as a first line procedure for the treatment of BPH.
Precise and controlled cutting and ablation allows the holmium laser energy
to penetrate just enough to ablate tissue without the charring, deep thermal
necrosis or collateral damage often seen with other laser treatments.

Benefits of Using a VersaPulse Holmium Laser to Treat BPH
- A proven procedure with superior long term clinical results: low complication
and reoperation rates.
- Holmium laser is a good wavelength for ablation or enucleation of tissue without charring,
overheating or damaging tissue where it can’t be seen
- Precise control over depth of tissue penetration
- Superior hemostasis results in a virtually bloodless surgery
- It provides flexibility to adapt to treat the unexpected stone without switching
to a different system
- Less post-operative voiding symptoms*
