Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, one of the leading healthcare facilities that has been offering clinical excellence for the last 9 decades has, on Friday, launched the state-of-the-art advanced LASER treatment for prostate enlargement.
Unveiling the new state-of-the-art LASER equipment to treat enlargement of prostate, Dr Kabilan Saminathan, Consultant and head of the Urology Department Dr Mehta’s Hospitals asserted that the advanced LASER treatment to Chennai is a turning point. He added that “the hospital’s dedication to reshaping patient care has culminated in this remarkable advancement.”
Addressing media personnel, he said, “Prostate enlargement, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), has long been a medical concern affecting countless individuals. Traditional treatment methods, while effective, often carry limitations that impact patient comfort and recovery time. With LASER Treatment, Dr Mehta’s Hospitals aims to improve life quality.‘’
The prostate gland is a part of the male body that is quiet in the first part of his life and makes a lot of noise in the second. It plays a major role in reproductive function. Past one’s sexual prime, it becomes an expendable organ. The prostate gland is a walnut-shaped organ situated in the deep pelvis, below the urinary bladder, wrapped around the urethra. The urethra runs through the centre of the prostate from the bladder to the penis, letting urine flow out of the body. The prostate secretes fluid that nourishes and protects the sperm. It also has a small role in controlling urination.
He also emphasized that the traditional method – Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), long considered the golden standard for treating prostate enlargement, has come with its shortcomings. In contrast, the LASER treatment contributes to the significant improvement of TURP and Open Prostatectomy. This advanced technology offers precise and minimally invasive targeting of affected areas, resulting in reduced discomfort, quicker recovery, lower risk of bleeding complications, shorter hospital stays, and contributing to improve quality of life.
When asked about the cost of LASER treatment, Dr Kabilan Saminathan said that it will cost Rs 10,000 to Rs 13,000 more than the conventional method of treatment. He also reiterated that LASER treatment for Prostate enlargement is covered by health insurance.
