The HoLEP can remove the prostate in a minimally invasive way. There are many benefits to this new procedure. Dr. Alger is one of the only surgeons in the Rocky Mountain region trained in this innovative procedure.
I had radiation treatment for prostate cancer. It appears the cancer is gone and my bladder is healed from the radiation treatment. During the healing from 12/15/23 to now (about 5 months) and hospitalized for severe bladder spasms, UTI and bacterial infection. I have had several UTI's, severe bladder spasms. I have an enlarged prostate blocking the urethera. I have had some form of Foley catheter, spanner stent, suprapubic catheter in and out since 12/23. Doctor may I ask a question. Is HOLEP a procedure for me knowing the side effects could be greater due to having the radiation treatments? Thank you if you can answer my question.
Perhaps but for those in the Colorado or Wyoming area, it is almost a public service announcement to help find a HOLEP surgeon without going to Chicago, Wisconsin, or Phoenix.
