Original video description

This is how we get in: through the urethra with an endoscope. No cuts, no incisions, no wounds on the skin. The holmium laser separates the adenoma from the capsule, we tip it into the bladder and the morcellator extracts it for analysis.

We're going to insert the endoscope through the urethra. There are no cuts, no incisions, no wounds on the skin. With the holmium laser, we're going to separate the tissue of the prostatic adenoma from the prostatic capsule, we'll tip it into the bladder, and with a tissue aspirator or morcelator, we'll extract it to send it to the pathology lab.
