laser surgery

A

use of a focused beam of light to excise or vaporize abnormal tissue and to control bleeding; uses a variety of non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures. Two common types of laser surgery used to treat BPH are holmium laser enucleation of the prostate gland (HoLEP) and photoselective vaporization of the prostate Gand (PVP)

6
Q

morcellation

A

cutting or grinding solid tissue into smaller pieces for removal

7
Q

MRI ultrasound fusion biopsy

A

combination of magnetic resonance imaging with transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) to obtain a tissue from a prostate lesion. Software merges an existing MR image with live ultrasound images. The combined, or fused, MRI-TRUS image is used to direct the biopsy needle into he area of the prostate that looked suspicious on MRI

Q

robotic surgery

A

use of small surgical instruments attached to a computer and operated by the surgeon from a console several feet from the operating table.

Q

transurethral incision of the prostate gland (TUIP)

A

surgical procedure that widens the urethra by making a few small incisions in the bladder neck and the prostate gland. No prostate tissue is removed. TUIP may be used instead of TURP when the prostate gland is less enlarged.

10
Q

TUIP

A

transurethral incision of the prostate gland

11
Q

transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT)

A

treatment that eliminates excess tissues present in benign prostatic hyperplasia by using heat generated by microwave

12
Q

TUMT

A

transurethral microwave thermotherapy

13
Q

transurethral resection of the prostate gland (TURP)

A

surgical removal of pieces of the prostate gland tissue by using an instrument inserted through the urethra. The capsule is left intact; usually performed when the enlarged prostate gland interferes with urination
