The first MoLEP operations in our country were successfully carried out by the Urological Clinic for Minimally Invasive Surgery for Litthiasis and Prostate of the Mitera Hospital and the doctor Vevelogiannis Panagiotis following the international developments in the Medical technology of Lasers.
The team at the Clinic, which had introduced Holmium Laser enucleation of the prostate three years ago HoLEP and has applied it as an operation of choice to hundreds of patients to date in their Department with excellent results, it improves him golden rule according to the requirements of the American Urological Association for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, adopting the pulse shaping technology (pulse modulation) which is the most innovative development of recent years in Holmium Lasers, launching the technique to another level of speed, safety and convenience for the patient.
The newly introduced technology with system pulse delivery Laser Moses 2 , drastically changes the way energy is supplied allowing more effective interventions than those of conventional Holmium Lasers.
MoLEP: its advantages
The innovation of pulse shaping
it consists on the one hand in the fact that the first pulse separates the water creating an air pocket through which the second laser beam sequence passes without the refractions and energy absorption that occurred in the past in the water environment where the intervention is carried out. On the other hand, this latest discovery in the field of Medical technology allows pulse regulation according to the use and the distance from the tissue to which it is addressed, whether it is a prostate gland or a denser composition of kidney stone.
In this way, the beam is optimally delivered to the target with extreme precision and safety, achieving 20% ​​faster operation times, 40% more effective hemostasis with zero blood loss and releasing the patient to his home on the same day in 90% of cases, with minimized recovery time, free of post-operative complications and with zero chances of re-operations in the future.
Multicenter studies and experience from abroad converge on the fact of the superiority of the MoLEP intervention with the assistance of the faster pulse system Moses 2 with a maximum pulse length of 1300 microseconds and a frequency of 120 Hertz, as the crown of minimally invasive procedures and the new gold standard according to international guidelines for prostate hyperplasia regardless of its size.
The intervention due to high specialization and long learning curve should be performed in centers that have their doctors trained in en bloc ( entirely in one piece ) technique and the state-of-the-art logistical equipment in order to meet the above criteria which also make up the benefit of the method for the patient.
According to the latest developments, the new face of Laser Endoscopic Urology is expanding in our country with MoLEP, bringing optimism to patients and giving a brief, painless and bloodless end to the most common condition that afflicted the male population.
It is another pioneer in the field of Medical practice that proudly places us at the same level of high health service provision as the corresponding centers abroad.
