Application of laser vaporization for adenoma

Many men are unfamiliar with the term laser vaporization of prostate adenoma. This is not surprising, since life does not have to deal with daily surgical procedures.

How is adenoma treated with surgery

Most experts claim that the treatment of adenoma using this technique is the most effective way to get rid of the pathology. The technique, despite its innovation, has gained great popularity. Laser surgery is performed to destroy the overgrown tissue of the gland (prostate).

American-made lasers are used for this operation on the prostate gland. Thanks to Western technologies, it is possible to very accurately influence benign education, minimizing the duration of rehabilitation as much as possible.

The method of medical therapy and its advantages

The benefits of this method include:

• easy tolerance of surgery;
• low invasiveness;
• short application time of urea catheterization;
• rapid rehabilitation;
• not long hospitalization.

Laser vaporization of the prostate organ is gaining more and more popularity among patients. This is because the procedure has positive characteristics with a number of advantages.

Typical features of surgical treatment

During vaporization, the risk of bleeding is reduced. This phenomenon is due to the fact that during the session, the edges of the injured tissue are soldered. Small capillaries with vessels are sealed in the same way.

During laser vaporization of the prostate gland, surgeons do not make incisions. The attachment is inserted into the pelvic area using an endoscope. The instrument reaches the gland bypassing the urinary canal. This introduction of a special tool allows the patient to quickly recover from surgery.

How preparation for surgery is carried out

Preparing a patient for surgery means that the patient does not eat for 10 hours before the start of the operation. You also can't drink water. A couple of hours before laser vaporization, the patient is enema to cleanse the intestines. The patient can independently carry out enema. When the enema is done, liquid intake is prohibited.

Before carrying out a treatment event, specialists collect anamnesis. For this, the man undergoes blood and urine tests. The blood group with rhesus is determined.

After research analyzes, the patient undergoes a study of the cardiac system. 5 days before the operation, the patient must undergo an ultrasound examination, including of the heart. An ECG is taken when the clinical picture of the cardiovascular system is abnormal, a consultation with a cardiologist is carried out.

Experts also pay attention to the possible medical therapy carried out by drug methods. Some drugs have a negative effect on the blood clotting process. These drugs include anticoagulants. If such appointments take place, then the drug intake is canceled 2 days before the vaporization.

Regardless of a quick recovery, men are not allowed to drive a car for a session, as the anesthesia can have residual effects.

How is the surgery going

Reconstructive manipulations

Manipulations for recovery after vaporization are carried out at home. The first day, men are not allowed to eat, you can only drink water. During this period, the patient should drink at least 2500 ml of water. Such actions contribute to increased urine output. When urine passes through the urethral canal, the natural diameter is restored.

At this time, patients should adhere to drug therapy. For this, for several days, patients are advised to use anti-inflammatory and antibiotic agents. This therapy is necessary for the accelerated recovery of the prostate gland after the elimination of a benign tumor (adenoma).

For the first three days, the urea is washed with antiseptics. These actions help to remove decay products with fibers accumulated during the presence of a pathological phenomenon. Washes are carried out with furacilin or a solution of aqueous chlorhexidine. When the patient has a catheter, the flushing session takes place in a short time. After flushing, the urine collector is changed. When the catheter is not installed, a special nozzle is used to flush the patient, the remaining liquid in the bladder is removed through the catheter.

An important point during rehabilitation is the use of a special diet. Men are prohibited from eating fried and fatty foods, excluding spicy, spicy, salty, sour foods. Men are prohibited from having sex for the first month.Patients must necessarily exclude increased physical activity.

The effectiveness of surgical intervention using laser vaporization

Patients who have eliminated adenoma with laser vaporization note:

• the procedure has practically no contraindications;
• the body recovers quickly after the operation;
• the session has no injuries (cuts, stitches);
• the risk of recurrence of pathology is reduced;
• sexual activity is restored.

The biggest advantage of laser vaporization is the short postoperative rehabilitation period. A man feels full the very next day after surgery. During the procedure, no blood is observed, during evaporation of the adenoma, patients do not have bleeding.

The prostate gland quickly returns to normal. The most important aspect of this procedure is the fact that the disease can recur in only 2.5% of patients. However, this is due to negligence in the recovery period.

In most cases, men experience sexual dysfunction after surgery. This is due to impaired blood supply in the cavernous corpuscles of the genital organ. After laser vaporization to remove adenoma, such pathological changes occur only in 5% of patients.

This is due to the long period of use of the urine drainage catheter. Full recovery of sexual functions in such patients occurs within two months after the procedure.

Laser vaporization can be performed even by men with cardiovascular pathologies. In case of oncological processes or with poor plasma clotting, the procedure is not carried out.
