Eleos Specialist Hospital became the first hospital in Nigeria to commence Bipolar Enucleation of the prostate. This is a new technique of removing very big prostates completely without opening up the patient utilizing special high tech equipment. Older methods of achieving the same thing include Holmium and Thulium Laser enucleation.
Speaking with Dr P.E Ngwu a Consultant Urologist and Laparoscopic Surgeon, he said that unlike the conventional endoscopic methods for removing the prostate, with this method even the biggest of prostates will not need an open Surgery. He added that this method also offers the advantage of very short hospital stay as patients go home a day or two after the procedure and also return to work much earlier. The procedure is also very safe and more affordable.
