The Nairi medical centre performs laser urological surgeries with one of the world's best systems, the Cyber Holmium 150. The latest Quanta Systems equipment installed in the medical centre is the only one in Armenia. Ruben Hovhannisyan, the head of the laser, laparoscopic, and oncological urology service, performs the procedures.
The doctor explained that using the laser has a number of advantages, particularly during surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia. The growth is removed from the prostate in one piece using laser enucleation. One of the most significant advantages is the significant reduction in blood loss when compared to older methods.
"While intraurethral resection (TUR) allows for fairly good bleeding control, there are times when even this procedure, let alone the open surgery used previously, necessitates a blood transfusion." The laser, in turn, reduces blood loss and shortens hospital stays," explained Ruben Hovhannisyan.
Laser surgeries are especially recommended for patients who require blood thinners on a regular basis due to heart problems. Other methods of surgery, according to the doctor, are contraindicated for such patients, or they should stop taking drugs before surgery. "With the laser, we can operate on these patients without interrupting their medication." "This is a significant advantage," he explained.
Other advantages of laser surgery, according to the doctor, are that the wound heals much faster, the catheter is removed from the urethra sooner, the patient recovers much faster, and he returns home, to work, and to his daily routine.
"I should also mention that the laser is a non-contact surgical procedure." This non-contact method has a number of advantages, including the ability to significantly reduce the number of strictures, which frequently occur during transurethral procedures when the bladder neck or urethra narrows. "This non-contact method can significantly reduce the likelihood of such complications," the doctor explained.
