Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate enlargement, is a common condition in men characterized by symptoms such as difficulty urinating and frequent urination. It requires attention to treatment and lifestyle improvements.

Cancer is the generic name given to a cluster of related diseases. In a normal healthy body, human cells grow and divide as the body needs them. When cells become old or damaged, they die and new cells take their place. However, cancer relates to body cells dividing uncontrollably and spreading to neighbouring tissues.

Kidney stones are common in the urinary system and are formed by hardened substances such as minerals and salts in the kidneys. These stones may remain in the kidneys or into the urinary tract, causing varying degrees of discomfort and complications.

The kidneys are a pair of organ-shaped kidney beans located on either side of the lower back, adjacent to the spine. The kidneys are vital organs for the body's metabolism, capable of secreting urine to eliminate excess water, metabolic waste, and toxins from the body. Once a malignant tumour develops in the kidneys, it is called kidney cancer.

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that involves inserting a laparoscope and other surgical instruments through one or several small incisions in the abdomen to examine and perform surgery on internal organs. A laparoscope is a long, tube-like instrument with a light source and camera at one end, which transmits images from inside the body to an external monitor, allowing doctors to view the internal situation.

Prostate cancer is the third most common cancer among men in Hong Kong, accounting for 13.9% of the total new cases of male cancer. Prostate cancer is a malignant tumour of the prostate. Men with a high risk of prostate cancer due to a family history of the disease or those experiencing symptoms should pay attention to changes in their bodies, especially abnormalities related to prostate health.

Urinary Tract Reconstruction is a series of surgical procedures to repair or reconstruct damaged parts of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. These surgeries are typically applicable to injuries or functional impairments of the urinary tract caused by various reasons such as trauma, disease, congenital anomalies, or post-cancer treatments.

Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) is a minimally invasive surgery used to treat obstructive benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), resulting in moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms. This procedure utilizes a holmium laser to remove enlarged prostate tissue precisely and is performed through the urethra, eliminating the need for external incisions. Its short- to medium-term efficacy is comparable to open resection surgery but with higher safety.

Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells inside the bladder, which is a hollow organ that stores urine. Most bladder cancers originate from the epithelial cells lining the inner walls of the bladder, known as transitional cell carcinoma (also called urothelial carcinoma). Many bladder tumours resemble small mushrooms, initially appearing on the surface layer of the bladder lining as papillary tumours. These tumours typically grow within the bladder lining initially, but over time, they may spread into the bladder's muscle wall and other parts of the body.
