Philippine hospital adopts Holmium Laser for urology treatments
The tech breaks kidney stones into particles, avoiding open or laparoscopic surgery.
St. Elizabeth Hospital, Inc. in General Santos City, Philippines, has adopted the Holmium Laser machine to treat kidney stones, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and urinary tract disorders.
The technology breaks kidney stones into small particles that can pass naturally through the body, removing the need for open or laparoscopic surgery.
The procedure is associated with reduced bleeding, minimal postoperative pain, and faster recovery time.
