AINU Vizag Sets New Benchmark with 100 Successful HOLEP Prostate Surgeries

A New Era in Prostate Surgery

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or enlargement of the prostate, is one of the most common conditions affecting men over 50. Traditionally managed with open or conventional surgery, treatment has rapidly evolved with the arrival of laser technology. HOLEP has now become the global gold standard because it offers:

● Precision in removing enlarged prostate tissue
● Minimal bleeding and reduced need for transfusion
● Shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery
● Long-term symptom relief, even in very large prostates

Dr. G. Ravindra Varma, M.S, M.Ch, DNB (Urology) – Managing Director, Sr.Consultant Urologist, AINU Vizag, “With increasing life expectancy, we are seeing a growing number of men affected by prostate enlargement along with co-morbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiac conditions. HOLEP is an answer to this modern challenge. It provides a permanent and safe solution with minimal complications even for patient with co-morbidities. At AINU Vizag, we are proud to bring this advanced technology to our community, ensuring patients don’t need to travel outside for world-class care.”

Adding to this perspective, Dr. Amit Saple, Executive Director, M.S, M.Ch DNB (Urology) – Sr.Consultant Urologist, AINU Vizag, highlighted the shift in surgical trends, Many men delay seeking treatment despite experiencing urinary problems such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, or incomplete bladder emptying. These delays can affect quality of life and lead to complications. HOLEP allows us to treat prostates of any size, something conventional surgery could not always achieve. Globally, HOLEP is becoming the first choice, replacing older methods. With our milestone of 100 surgeries, AINU Vizag is proud to be at the forefront of this change, ensuring our patients return to normal life quickly and with confidence.”
