HoLEP, or Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to treat an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) by using a laser to remove obstructing tissue. HoLEP involves removing obstructing prostate tissue using a laser fibre passed along a telescope through your penis (waterpipe).
