Introduction of Thulium Laser Prostate Surgery

We are delighted to announce the introduction of Thulium Laser Prostate Surgery at Darent Valley Hospital (DVH), bringing revolutionary changes to prostate surgery.

This innovative procedure, widely adopted in Europe and some UK hospitals, has proven to be less invasive than traditional methods like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and open prostatectomy. The introduction of Laser Prostate Surgery offers numerous advantages, including reduced post-operative complications, minimized bleeding, the ability to address larger prostates, and accelerated recovery for patients.

Leading the project are Mr. S Banerjee and Mr. J Nariculum, esteemed Urology surgeons. Mr. Banerjee expresses his satisfaction, stating, "It is truly rewarding to provide advanced care right here at DVH for individuals experiencing prostate problems." Meanwhile, Mr. Nariculum adds, "We find it reassuring to witness DVH investing in cutting-edge technology, which not only helps patients recover faster but also offers them the convenience of day-case laser prostate operations."
