Laser Surgery in Urology
Mr. Syed is clinical lead for use of laser technology in urology.
He has set up a pioneering service at Little Aston Hospital, supported by a dedicated team.
The following conditions are treated using laser technology:
Laser Surgery in Urology
- Kidney stones. Kidney and ureteric stones are treated using Holmium Yag laser. This allows safe and effective fragmentation of any type of stone present anywhere along the urinary tract.
- Prostate enlargement. Green Light Laser Prostatectomy is used to evaporate the prostatic tissue to create a channel for better flow. This is a safe and effective treatment with minimal bleeding and early discharge from the hospital.
- Laser treatment of small superficial bladder tumours under local anaesthesia through a flexible scope. Mr Syed is an expert in laser treatment of recurrent bladder cancer. He has the longest prospective study over 6 years treatment of these patients. Excellent local cancer control and 100% patient satisfaction.
- Laser treatment of urethral stricture or bladder neck stenosis. Holmium laser is also used for opening up narrow strictures of the water pipe (urethra or bladder neck area).
