First to start TURis technology for prostate vaporization in Hyderabad

The TURis plasma vaporization electrode does not cut off tissue with a loop, but energetically vaporizes the tissue with a small button electrode. With the help of the latest plasma technology, cells can be removed by merely gliding the electrode over the prostate tissue. A smooth tissue surface is left behind - no healthy tissue is irritated or injured by plasma vaporization as the plasma corona reduces the depth of the energy. Vaporization of the tissue is performed by the plasma corona utilizing a controlled high-frequency energy peak of approximately 300 Watts.  Bleeds during and after this minimally invasive surgery can be avoided with this technique and quick healing of the wound stimulated.

Plasma vaporization represents an innovative surgical treatment option that can remove the cause of BPH safely, gently and with high efficiency. It can be done safely in patient on anticoagulants and anti platelet agents

The resectoscope used was an Olympus 26F in continuous flow-type Iglesias with continuous aspiration. The loops were all disposable/single use. We did 13 cases till now for prostate gland from 30 gm to 75 gm in size and 3 cases of bladder tumor resection. Till now there was no incidence of unwanted stimulation of the obturator reflex, TUR syndrome, thermal skin lesion, blood transfusion, urethral strictures, and bladder neck contractures.
