Safe, fast, and effective treatment of urinary conditions at Wakefield
Posted on April 7, 2025
Wakefield Hospital is proud to introduce the latest in urological treatment with the SOLTIVE™ Thulium Laser – a state-of-the-art technology offering patients a safer, faster, and more effective option for managing a range of urinary conditions.
Laser surgery is a minimally invasive and highly precise method used to treat conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), kidney stones, urethral strictures, and bladder tumours. Using the SOLTIVE™ Thulium Laser, our surgeons perform procedures through the urethra, eliminating the need for open surgery and significantly reducing recovery times.
“Our new laser is revolutionary,” say Wakefield Hospital urologists Rod Studd, Omid Yassaie, and Grant Russell.
“It allows us to treat large prostates and kidney stones more efficiently, effectively, and safely – leading to improved patient outcomes.”
Who may benefit from laser treatment?
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): For men with an enlarged prostate causing urinary symptoms.
- Kidney Stones: Especially larger stones that are difficult to pass naturally.
- Urethral Strictures: Narrowing of the urethra that affects urinary flow.
- Bladder Tumours: Non-invasive growths that can be precisely targeted with laser technology.
Why choose the SOLTIVE™ Thulium Laser?
Compared to traditional energy sources, the SOLTIVE laser allows:
- More efficient treatment of larger prostates and kidney stones
- Improved surgical precision with minimal impact on surrounding tissues
- Faster stone removal, especially for complex or larger stones
- Enhanced patient safety and shorter recovery times
Wakefield Hospital remains at the forefront of urological care, and we are excited to offer this advanced technology to our patients.
