@JIgnacioAcuna Congratulations! What were your sensations regarding speed for lithotripsy, enucleation phase and coagulation? Did you have to pass the bipolar resectoscope at the end?

Grateful for the opportunity to perform the first ThufLEP surgery with this platform in Latin America! The pulse modes for lithiasis and enucleation are incredibly useful. Looking forward to try the 120w system soon! ✨ #UroSoMe #Laser #Lithiasis #Enucleation #Urology

First ThuFLEP procedure successfully performed in Chile with Urolase+ Premium We are proud to share that the first #ThuFLEP procedure in Chile using the Urolase+Premium laser system has been successfully completed at @FelixHfb , with the strong support of our trusted partner IMV MED CHILE. The surgery was performed by Dr. @JIgnacioAcuna and involved a prostate of 50 cc with a non-simple anatomical configuration, further complicated by cystolithiasis with a 17 mm bladder stone. Despite these factors, the entire operation was completed in just 45 minutes. The patient was discharged within 24 hours, underscoring the efficiency and favorable recovery profile of the procedure. @JIgnacioAcuna highlighted the performance of the #DissectPulse mode, noting its precision in anatomical dissection, controlled tissue interaction, and effective hemostasis. According to his feedback, the laser performed excellently and efficiently throughout the case. We sincerely thank IMV MED CHILE for their professional support and collaboration in bringing advanced Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) technology to Chile. Congratulations to @JIgnacioAcuna and the entire team at @FelixHfb on this achievement. #UrolasePremium #ThuliumFiberLaser #LaserUrology #Endourology #ChileHealthcare #VPGLaserOne

@rodrigochaconc The treatment of the stone was very efficient. I needed to correct the plane a few times, as I am more accustomed to Holmium, but the "Dissect Pulse" feature, with its high peak power, proved to be quite beneficial. I did not need to perform blunt enucleation.

Claro poniendo el peor escenario pues definitivamente no…. Ahí te va otro escenario trágico para que estemos en la misma línea Te haces biopsia, haces una urosepsis que caes en choque séptico, llegas a terapia intensiva… hubiera preferido la radical, y busco mi esfínter artificial y prótesis de pene ¿Qué eligirias? ¿Cuál de los dos escenarios trágicos? 😅

Would you perform radical surgery WITHOUT biopsy⁉️ A 68-year-old male patient with a 125-gram prostate underwent #HOLEP in July 2024. Histopathologically benign, perfect continence, and a PSA of 0.3 ng / ml after Holep. In September 2025, he presented a PSA of 4.4 ng/ml, no symptoms. I requested an mpMRI: PiRADS 5 right posterolateral peripheral zone, PET-SCAN PSMA: nodular lesion in the peripheral zone, right lobular (SUVmax 9.1), PRIMARY score 4, PROMISE V2: miT2u M0 N0. I scheduled him for robotic radical prostatectomy without biopsy ✅🇲🇽

@JIgnacioAcuna @UABUrology Endoscopic enucleation and then cystotomy due to size of adenoma. Advantages of blood loss and continence and catheter duration over OSP.

We did a thing recently. All shared with patient permission. 979cc prostate with recurrent gross hematuria requiring transfusion and obstructive uropathy. <2 hours enucleation time. Home <48 hours later. @UABUrology is making waves! Enucleation is the answer! #allsizesfitone
