We are excited to partner with Richard Wolf Medical Instruments, a company at the forefront of urologic innovation and advanced surgical technology, for this episode of the Prostate Health Podcast.
For decades, men with enlarged prostates have had to choose between living with disruptive urinary symptoms and undergoing invasive surgery. Now, holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, or HoLEP, is changing that by offering a minimally invasive treatment with proven long-term results, while new surgical innovations are taking the procedure to the next level.
Today’s guest is Dr. Austin Slade, a nationally and internationally recognized urologic surgeon and one of the most experienced HoLEP specialists in the United States. Known for his surgical precision, exceptional patient outcomes, and commitment to advancing minimally invasive prostate care, Dr. Slade is sought out by patients and referring physicians from across the United States and around the world for the treatment of enlarged prostate symptoms.
Join us as Dr. Slade offers his insights on why the HoLEP procedure has become a leading long-term treatment for BPH and how recent advances in surgical instrumentation are enabling surgeons to deliver even better outcomes for their patients.
