Prostate laser surgery, a cutting-edge treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), has become an increasingly popular option through medical tourism. Patients from countries with high healthcare costs, such as the United States, Canada, or Western Europe, are traveling to destinations like India, Turkey, Thailand, and Mexico to undergo this minimally invasive procedure at a fraction of the price.

Prostate laser surgery is a minimally invasive treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) that uses laser energy to vaporize or enucleate excess prostate tissue, improving urine flow with less bleeding and faster recovery than traditional TURP.

GreenLight (PVP) | Photoselective vaporization | Small-medium prostates | 3-5 days |
HoLEP | Holmium laser enucleation | Large prostates (>80g) | 5-7 days |
