HoLEP has no size limitation and therefore allows surgeons to treat patients with different stages of BPH. Furthermore, it is recommended by the AUA (American Urologic Association) for complex patients \u2013 including those on anticoagulation medications. <\/p>\n<p>Patients undergoing HoLEP typically regain normal physical functions very quickly. Most who undergo this procedure are able to return home the same day and have their catheters removed within 24 hours of surgery. <\/p>\n<p>While this is a relatively new and rare procedure, UNC averages at least 150 of the procedures yearly, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/urology\/directory\/gopal-narang-md\/\">Dr. Gopal Narang<\/a>, Assistant Professor in the UNC Department of Urology.<\/p>\n<script>\n\n    (function($) {\n        $(\"body, html\").addClass(\"heels_full_width_overflow\");\n    })(jQuery);\n\n   <\/script>\n   <div style=\"background-color:#4b9cd3;\" class=\"full-width-contained whitebackground \">\n<div class=\"row  oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-9 col-md-8 col-xs-12 col-sm-6 oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<blockquote style=\"border-left: 5px solid #ffffff;\">\n<p class=\"lead\" style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u201cHoLEP patients are some of our happiest patients. <strong>As a surgeon, it\u2019s especially gratifying to me because we\u2019re using a minimally invasive procedure and getting the maximum benefit.<\/strong> We see them regaining normal function and a higher quality of life rapidly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\" style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u201cIt\u2019s also a very flexible procedure and allows us to help patients who may have multiple health comorbidities that can make surgery for BPH more complex.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right; color: #ffffff; link-decoration: none;\"><a class=\"white\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/urology\/directory\/gopal-narang-md\/\">Dr. Gopal Narang<\/a><br \/>\nAssistant Professor of Urology<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-xs-12 col-sm-6 oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/urology\/directory\/gopal-narang-md\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/urology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/637\/2023\/03\/Gopal-Narang-MD-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Gopal Narang\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10062 aligncenter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/urology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/637\/2023\/03\/Gopal-Narang-MD-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/urology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/637\/2023\/03\/Gopal-Narang-MD.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The HoLEP procedure requires advanced urological training and specialized expertise. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Narang and UNC Associate Professor of Urology, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/urology\/directory\/davis-viprakasit-md-facs\/\">Dr. Davis Viprakasit<\/a>, anticipate the number of procedures at UNC will continue to increase rapidly due to its unique benefits for patients.  <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt is exciting for UNC Urology to offer \u2013 what we consider \u2013 the gold standard, definitive solution for a wide range of BPH patients.
