Thulium Fiber Laser

Thulium Fiber Laser Device, which provides comfortable treatment in prostate surgery, has been used for the first time in the region at SANKO University Hospital.

SANKO University Faculty of Medicine Head of Urology Department Assoc. Dr. Faruk Küçükdurmaz said that ThuFLEP (Prostate Surgery with Thulium Fiber Laser Device) is a frequently preferred treatment method in the surgical treatment of BPH (benign prostate enlargement).

Assoc. Dr. Küçükdurmaz stated that ThuFLEP has much more advantages and comfort compared to the laser techniques commonly used today.

Referring to the advantages of ThuFLEP, Assoc. Dr. Küçükdurmaz said, “With this method, there are advantages such as removing more prostate tissue during the surgery, less bleeding, shorter hospitalization, earlier removal of the catheter after the surgery and a faster return to daily life.”

Emphasizing that thanks to ThuFLEP, the treatment is applied more safely in patients using blood thinners and in patients with heart and lung diseases, Assoc. Dr. Küçükdurmaz continued his words as follows:

“The ThuFLEP operation can be safely performed for prostates of all sizes. After the operation, the catheter is removed within a day or two. Since the tissue depth of this laser is lower, nerve damage and related post-operative sexual dysfunction are less common.

Thulium fiber laser can be used in endoscopic resection of bladder and upper urinary tract tumors and endoscopic treatment of kidney stones, apart from prostate surgery. We are very happy to offer this service to our people in prostate surgery at the Department of Urology at SANKO University Hospital.”
