HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) is an advanced laser procedure for treating enlarged prostate (BPH). Unlike TURP which shaves tissue, HoLEP enucleates (removes) the entire prostate adenoma using a high-powered holmium laser, then morcellates the tissue for removal. HoLEP is considered the most effective surgical treatment for BPH, especially for larger prostates (over 80 grams), with outcomes superior to TURP for large glands.
| Procedure | Cost | Stay | Recovery | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HoLEP (Standard) | ₹80,000–₹2,00,000 | 2 days | 2–3 weeks | Prostates of any size; gold standard for over 80g |
| HoLEP + Bladder Stone Removal | ₹1,00,000–₹2,50,000 | 2–3 days | 2–3 weeks | Combined procedure |
| HoLEP (Large Prostate over 100g) | ₹1,00,000–₹2,50,000 | 2–3 days | 2–4 weeks | Very large prostates that TURP cannot effectively treat |
Approximate Chennai market ranges. Actual pricing varies by hospital and complexity.
| Hospital | HoLEP Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Government | ₹80,000–₹1,00,000 |
| Mid-Tier | ₹1,00,000–₹1,50,000 |
| Premium | ₹1,50,000–₹2,50,000 |
The holmium laser system costs hospitals ₹50–₹80 lakhs, plus disposable fibers (₹15,000–₹25,000 per case). This investment is the primary reason HoLEP costs 30–60% more than TURP.
Larger prostates (over 100g) take longer operative time. However, HoLEP handles any size prostate — a major advantage over TURP.
HoLEP has a steep learning curve (50–100 cases for proficiency). Not all urologists perform HoLEP. Experienced HoLEP surgeons may command higher fees.
HoLEP is usually covered by most health insurance providers as a medically necessary treatment for enlarged prostate. Some insurers may require pre-authorisation specifically for laser prostate surgery. CGHS and ESI also cover HoLEP. At Unittas Hospital, our team assists with cashless pre-authorisation and TPA coordination.
Unittas Hospital offers flexible EMI with 0% interest for select tenures over 3 to 24 months, with quick processing and minimal documentation.
