Video of prostate enucleation surgery
Generally, prostate enucleation refers to transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate. The surgical procedure typically includes anesthesia, positioning, enucleation, specimen submission for pathological examination, and indwelling urinary catheter placement. The specific steps are as follows:
1. After administering general anesthesia, the patient is placed in the lithotomy position, and the surgical site is routinely disinfected and draped.
2. The holmium laser handpiece and optical fiber are inserted through the urethral orifice to visualize the bladder and prostate.
3. Using the holmium laser fiber, the enlarged prostate tissue is dissected along the plane between the prostatic surgical capsule and the hyperplastic glandular tissue.
4. A fine morcellator is used to fragment and remove the prostate tissue from the bladder, which is then sent for pathological examination.
5. An indwelling urinary catheter is placed at the surgical site. Once no abnormalities are detected, the procedure is completed.
This surgery is primarily used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). If this procedure is required, it is recommended to go to a qualified hospital and undergo the operation under the guidance of a specialized physician.
