Ever wondered how the Prostate is taken out following laser surgery without a single cut on the skin to take it out of the bladder?

This process is called Morcellation.

Enucleated prostate tissue is removed from the bladder using a Morcellator. Morcellated prostate is filtered and collected in a container. Without the morcellator, very large prostate tissue cannot be removed after HoLEP without opening the body.

The Beautiful Thing About Laser

In a situation where there are huge stones in the bladder and a huge prostate obstructing urine, it is very difficult to know whether it is the prostate or the stone that is obstructing urine. But something has to be done to save the kidneys.

It is not a good idea to take out one and leave the other one. It is better to do both at the same time.

Only laser, which is without any external wound or surgery with cut through the skin can do both the stones and prostate at the same time. TURP cannot. Other methods of stone surgery cannot do prostates, and other methods of prostate surgery cannot do stones except laser and surgeries requiring cut on the skin. Laser can do both stones and prostate at the same time without any external wound. That is the beautiful thing about laser.

Here, it was a very huge prostate that was obstructing urine, and the prostate was too big for the stone to be seen and treated before the prostate. When the prostate is removed first, there could be blood in the urine thereafter, making it difficult to see the stone. But because laser does not cause much bleeding, it is possible to take out the prostate first and then focus clearly on the stones later, in the same session.

When more than one surgery needs to be done at the same time, laser comes in handy.

Why does my throat feel blocked every morning?

For many people, coughing up heavy mucus every morning is a routine. Before speaking or even eating, they need to cough repeatedly to feel normal. Once the mucus is out, the throat feels clear, speaking becomes easier, and the day continues. Because it happens daily and settles quickly, most people assume it is normal or nothing serious.

It is not. Persistent morning throat blockage is usually a symptom, not a normal body function.

This morning ritual usually happens because mucus accumulates in the throat overnight. While lying down, secretions from the nose, sinuses, or upper airway flow backwards and pool at the back of the throat. By morning, the body triggers coughing to clear the airway before normal speech can happen.

Many people live with this for years without seeking help. They clear their throat constantly, rely on cough syrups, or use home remedies. What they do not realize is that persistent irritation can gradually damage the throat and voice box. Over time, this may lead to recurrent sore throat, voice changes, sensation of something stuck in the throat, frequent throat infections, bad breath, chronic cough, worsening sinus disease, or long-term hoarseness.

Several underlying ENT conditions are commonly responsible for this pattern of morning mucus build-up. They include:

Post Nasal Drip
This is a condition where too much mucus drips down from the back of the nose into the throat, often due to chronic sinusitis, nasal allergies, cold, flu, medications, a deviated nasal septum, or long-standing nasal blockage. Post-nasal drip often worsens at night due to lying flat, allowing mucus to accumulate in the throat rather than draining naturally.

Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)
This is a form of acid reflux where stomach acid travels upward and comes into contact with the delicate lining of the throat and voice box, causing significant irritation.
It usually occurs when a person lies down, especially during sleep. This irritation causes the body to produce more mucus as a protective response. It often occurs silently, without the typical burning chest pain associated with reflux, which is why it is sometimes called “silent reflux” and is often overlooked.

Environmental Irritants
Dust, smoke, air pollution, and dry air irritate the airway and thicken mucus. This is common in people who live or work in dusty environments or poorly ventilated spaces and cigarette smokers. Cigarette smoking irritates the throat, which triggers overproduction of mucus and destroys the cilia (tiny hairs) that normally clear it.

Repeated Throat Clearing and Voice Strain
Frequent throat clearing and excessive voice use irritate the throat lining. This irritation encourages more mucus production, creating a cycle that becomes difficult to break without proper treatment.

When evaluated by the ENT surgeon, the assessment goes beyond the throat to include the nose and sinuses. Identifying and treating the root cause prevents long-term complications and restores normal throat function.

Coughing out mucus every morning is common, but it is not normal. Ignoring it allows a manageable ENT condition to become a chronic problem.

Can Varicocele Surgery Be a Solution to Infertility?

Yes. It can be a solution to low s***m count.

We did laparoscopic varicocelectomy, minimally invasive surgical approach, on a patient three months ago. Before the surgery, his s***m count was 5 million/ml. Three months later, the semen analysis was repeated and his s***m count had risen to 35 million/ml. S***m morphology also improved from 2% normal forms to 6%, and motility increased from 20% to 55%. The response to surgery was excellent.

We also had a delivery this year from a patient who had varicocele surgery with us last year.

We perform laparoscopic varicocelectomy right here at Kelina Hospital. We no longer do open surgery. The results are better and the discomfort is minimal. Patients can eat a few hours after surgery and can go home the same day or the next day. It is a simple procedure.

It is best to treat this problem early before it damages the te**es. If the te**is becomes badly affected and shrunken, the hormones can become disorganized and the response to surgery may not be so excellent.

For patients who keep moving from clinic to clinic trying IVF that keeps failing, an important question is this: have you seen a Urologist to check for a simple problem like varicocele that can be easily fixed?

IVF is not a solution to infertility. IVF bypasses infertility. When IVF is done, it does not mean the couple has become fertile. The problem that was there may still be there.

If varicocele is not treated on time, it can damage both te**es. Other functions of the te**es, such as hormone production, especially testosterone, can also be affected. Some men may even begin to have problems with er****on because of a simple problem that could have been corrected earlier.

If the problem is treated at the right time, the couple can return to normal fertility and have their babies naturally in the comfort of their home, instead of going from hospital to hospital.

IVF should be the last resort when there is no other solution.

Where the problem is mainly from the man, there is no reason for the woman to go through multiple hormone injections and body manipulation just to harvest eggs for IVF. The burden of IVF is mostly on the woman, yet the varicocele problem is from the man and can be solved easily.

When the problem from the man is corrected, the woman should not need to go through all that stress at all, especially where the main problem has not been solved. That is why it is important for couples dealing with infertility to properly investigate the cause and see a Urologist as well as a Gynaecologist.
