Abuja hospital offers advanced LASER prostate treatment with no surgical cuts

Eleos Specialist Hospital in Abuja has introduced a groundbreaking treatment for enlarged prostates, utilizing Thulium Fiber Laser Enucleation of The Prostate (ThuFLEP). This advanced LASER technology allows for the complete removal of enlarged prostates, regardless of size, without the need for any surgical incisions.

We'll finish the surgery and the urine is clear. And there is no bleeding there, even for a very big prostate.

The procedure offers significant advantages over traditional methods. Patients experience minimal to no blood loss and can typically return home on the same day or the day after the treatment. Notably, the procedure is performed with the patient awake, and it does not result in the loss of erections, a common concern with older treatments.

Dr. Paul Ngwu, a Consultant Urologist and Laparoscopic Surgeon, highlighted the importance of ThuFLEP during a recent interview on Arise Television's Morning Show. He explained that this new LASER technology has modifications that provide superior outcomes compared to previous methods. "We'll finish the surgery and the urine is clear. And there is no bleeding there, even for a very big prostate," Dr. Ngwu stated. "You will just discover that you are not seeing any bleeder at all as you are moving on. So you will discover that you have removed 300g prostate or 400g prostate and there is no need for transfusion at all."

The hospital's Head of Operations, Mr. Joshua Amayanvbo, confirmed the success of the procedure, reporting that over 30 patients have undergone ThuFLEP with excellent recovery rates. Dr. Ngwu also emphasized that the procedure has no adverse effects on erections. The hospital aims to raise public health awareness about this effective solution for prostate enlargement, stressing that such advanced technology is now available locally.

The essence of this programme is for public health education. Of course, this is not advertisement, but to create an awareness for members of the public to know that there are solutions to these problems and that such technology exists.
