Laser prostate surgery in India costs from USD 3,000 for Green Light Laser (PVP), from USD 3,250 for HoLEP Holmium Laser and from USD 2,500 for TURP, at World Class Hospitals in India. Each of these Minimally Invasive operations relieves the blockage caused by an enlarged prostate, so that you can pass urine freely again, and most men are home from hospital within one to two days.

Laser Prostate Surgery Cost in India
The cost of laser prostate surgery in India depends on the method your urologist chooses, the size of your prostate and the hospital you select. Our packages start from the figures below, and every package is negotiated with the hospital for your own case.
| Treatment | Package cost in India | Usual hospital stay | Prostate size it suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green Light Laser (PVP) | From USD 3,000 | Usually home the same day | Decided by your urologist after a scan |
| HoLEP Holmium Laser | From USD 3,250 | 1 to 2 days | All sizes, including very large |
| TURP | From USD 2,500 | 1 to 4 days | 30 to 80 mL |
Your package includes your urologist’s fee, the operation, your stay in hospital, routine tests before surgery and your medicines while you are admitted. Your air ticket and your hotel after discharge are additional. We confirm the final figure in writing only after our urologists have read your reports, because no two prostates are the same size.
- The size of your prostate, which sets the length of the operation
- The method chosen, Green Light, HoLEP or TURP
- The hospital and the room category you prefer
- Your general health, including heart and blood tests needed before anaesthesia
- Days in hospital, which are longer after TURP than after laser surgery
For a fuller picture of how prostate operations are priced, read our Robotic Prostate Surgery cost guide, which explains the same pricing approach for Prostate Cancer surgery.

Laser Prostate Surgery Cost in India Compared with the United States and the United Kingdom
Laser prostate surgery in India costs a fraction of the self pay price in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the United States, HoLEP costs USD 6,000 to 20,000 on average, depending on the hospital and whether you stay overnight (New York Urology Specialists). In the United Kingdom, a private TURP starts from GBP 8,030, with GBP 224 more for the first consultation (Spire Healthcare). In India, laser packages start from USD 3,000 at NABH accredited hospitals.
Figure 1. Self-pay price of surgery for an enlarged prostate in the United States, the United Kingdom and India.
| United States | United Kingdom | India, with SafeMedTrip | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | HoLEP USD 6,000 to 20,000 | Private TURP from GBP 8,030 | Laser from USD 3,000 |
| Consultation | Varies by clinic | GBP 224 | Expert Medical Opinion free within 48 Hours |
| Waiting time | Depends on your plan | Depends on the hospital | Zero waiting period once you confirm |
| Support | Arranged by you | Arranged by you | Patient Case Manager from arrival to send off |
Our patients do not travel to India for the lowest number on this table alone. They come because the urologists at our partner hospitals perform these laser operations every week, the hospitals are NABH accredited, and every step of the trip is arranged for them.
Why an Enlarged Prostate Needs Treatment
An enlarged prostate needs treatment when it squeezes the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the bladder, and makes passing urine slow, difficult or frequent. The condition is called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH. It is not cancer, and it becomes more common as men grow older.
You may need surgery when medicines no longer control your symptoms, or when the blockage starts to harm your bladder or kidneys. Common signs include:
- A weak or slow stream of urine
- Getting up several times at night to pass urine
- A sudden, urgent need to pass urine
- Feeling that your bladder has not emptied fully
- Repeated urine infections, bladder stones or blood in the urine
- Being unable to pass urine at all, which needs a catheter
If your symptoms are mild, your urologist may first suggest non-surgical treatment options for an enlarged prostate. Send us your reports and our doctors will advise you whether surgery is the right step now.
Treatment Options for Enlarged Prostate: Green Light, HoLEP and TURP
Green Light Laser, HoLEP and TURP all remove the prostate tissue that blocks the urethra, and all three are performed through the urethra with no cut on the skin. They differ in how the tissue is removed, how long you stay in hospital and how large a prostate they can treat. Read more about minimally invasive treatments for an enlarged prostate at our partner hospitals.
Figure 2. What Green Light, HoLEP and TURP mean for prostate size, hospital stay and catheter.
Green Light Laser vaporises the blocking tissue with a high powered laser beam. Most men go home the same day with a catheter that is removed within 48 to 72 hours (BAUS patient information). In the GOLIATH trial, which treated 281 men across 29 hospitals in nine European countries, Green Light relieved symptoms as well as TURP over two years, and about five men in six had no complications in that time (Thomas and colleagues, European Urology, 2016).
HoLEP uses a holmium laser to separate the whole inner part of the prostate from its outer shell, and the tissue is then removed through the urethra. It works for prostates of every size, including very large glands that once needed open surgery. The catheter is usually removed the morning after surgery and most men go home within one to two days (Cambridge Urology Partnership). In a trial that followed men for about seven years, none of the men treated with HoLEP needed a second operation for their prostate, against three of the seventeen treated with TURP (Gilling and colleagues, BJU International, 2012).
Figure 3. Laser surgery removes the tissue pressing on the urethra, so urine flows normally again.
TURP removes the blocking tissue in small pieces with an electrical loop. It has been performed for decades and suits prostates of 30 to 80 mL (European Association of Urology). Most men leave hospital one to four days afterwards (NHS). To see how the operation itself is performed, read our page on how Laser TURP surgery is carried out.

Which Laser Treatment is the Right Choice for You?
The right laser treatment for you depends mainly on the size of your prostate, your general health and the medicines you take, and your urologist makes the final choice after reading your reports. The American Urological Association recommends HoLEP and similar enucleation methods as an option for prostates of any size (AUA Guideline, 2020). As a guide:
- A very large prostate: HoLEP is usually advised, because it removes the whole inner gland in one operation
- You want the shortest hospital stay: Green Light usually lets you go home the same day
- A prostate of 30 to 80 mL: all three methods can be considered, including TURP
- You take blood thinners: tell us when you send your reports, and your urologist will advise you which method is safer for you
- Your PSA is raised: your urologist will first rule out cancer, because the treatment then changes
If you are still deciding between Robotic Surgery, laser surgery and open surgery, read our guide to choosing between Robotic, Laser and Open prostate surgery. If a biopsy has shown cancer, see our treatment options for Prostate Cancer, including Robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer, Radical Prostatectomy and HIFU, the non-surgical treatment for Prostate Cancer.

Recovery and Life after Laser Prostate Surgery
Most men notice a stronger flow of urine almost immediately after laser prostate surgery, and are back to their usual activities within two to four weeks (NHS recovery advice). Full healing inside takes about six weeks, and the urgency and night time visits to the toilet can take about three months to settle.
Figure 5. What most men can expect, week by week.
- Rest for one to two weeks, and do not drive for at least one week
- Drink plenty of water to keep your urine clear
- Avoid heavy lifting and hard exercise for about six weeks
- A little blood in your urine can appear on and off for up to six weeks, which is normal; contact us at once if it becomes heavy or you cannot pass urine
Sex is usually possible again after three to four weeks. Many men find that little or no semen comes out when they ejaculate, because it flows back into the bladder instead. This does not harm you, and orgasm feels the same. If you plan to father children, kindly tell your urologist before surgery.
Some men feel urgency or leak a little in the first weeks while the area heals, and pelvic floor exercises help this settle. Your urologist will show you these before you leave hospital. Our urology specialists in India remain available to you for advice by Email or WhatsApp after you return home.
Guidance for Patients from Abroad
Patients travel to us for laser prostate surgery from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the Gulf and Africa. Tap your country below for the points that matter most. For full visa, flight and insurance detail by country, see the country section of our Robotic Prostate Surgery cost in India guide.
Most of our American patients pay for themselves, because Medicare does not pay for planned surgery outside the United States. Non-stop flights run from New York to Delhi and Mumbai in about 14 and a half to 16 hours, so we plan your flight home only after your urologist clears you. Your e-Medical Visa is applied for online.
Heathrow has non-stop flights to Delhi in under nine hours, which makes the journey home after laser surgery a short one. The NHS S2 route covers treatment in Europe only and does not reach India, so you will be self funding. Your e-Medical Visa is applied for online, and we obtain the hospital letter you need to upload.
Toronto and Vancouver have non-stop flights to Delhi. Provincial plans such as OHIP require written prior approval before any treatment abroad, which elective laser surgery rarely receives, so kindly plan to pay for yourself. Your e-Medical Visa is applied for online.
Air India flies Sydney to Delhi non-stop in about 12 and a half hours. Kindly check your travel insurance carefully, because standard policies often exclude trips taken for medical treatment. Buy a policy written for medical travel and get the cover confirmed in writing. Your e-Medical Visa is applied for online.
You are only three to four hours from Delhi or Mumbai, which makes laser surgery in India especially convenient. If your insurer covers treatment abroad, get written pre-authorisation before you fly, as some policies reduce a claim made without it. Your visa follows your passport, not your residence.
A Nigerian passport cannot use the e-Visa. You apply in person at the High Commission in Abuja or the Consulate General in Lagos, with the hospital invitation letter that we arrange for you. Flights connect through Doha, Cairo or Addis Ababa. Plan your payment early, because naira card limits fall well below a surgical package.
Air Tanzania flies non-stop from Dar es Salaam to Mumbai in about six hours, and several of our partner hospitals are in Mumbai itself. Your e-Medical Visa is applied for online, and up to two family members may travel with you.
Flights connect through Addis Ababa, Dubai or Doha. Kindly speak to your Medical Aid Society before you assume you must pay yourself, because the visa checklist in Harare is built around societies that fund treatment in India. Your e-Medical Visa is applied for online.

Frequently Asked Questions
Green Light Laser (PVP) packages start from USD 3,000, HoLEP Holmium Laser packages from USD 3,250, and TURP from USD 2,500 at World Class Hospitals in India. The package covers your surgeon, the operation, your hospital stay, routine tests and medicines while you are admitted. The final figure depends on the size of your prostate, the hospital and the method chosen, and we confirm it to you in writing after our urologists have read your reports.
The price depends on the size of your prostate, your general health and the method your urologist chooses, and these are known only after your ultrasound and blood reports are read. Send us your reports and we will send you a written estimate from World Class Hospitals in India within 48 Hours, at no cost and with no obligation.
In the United States the average cost of HoLEP is USD 6,000 to 20,000 depending on the hospital and the length of stay. In the United Kingdom a private TURP starts from GBP 8,030 plus GBP 224 for the first consultation. In India laser packages start from USD 3,000, so most of our patients from these countries spend well under half of their home price, even after flights.
All three relieve the blockage. HoLEP suits prostates of every size, including very large ones, and very few men need a second operation later. Green Light usually lets you go home the same day. TURP is the long established operation for prostates of 30 to 80 mL. Your urologist chooses after reading your ultrasound, your urine flow test and your PSA, and our doctors will tell you which one your reports point towards before you travel.
No. Laser surgery treats Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, which is an enlarged prostate that is not cancer. It removes only the tissue blocking the urine channel. If your biopsy shows cancer, the treatments are different, such as Robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer or HIFU, and our urologists will guide you on those instead.
Your hospital stay is usually the same day for Green Light, one to two days for HoLEP and one to four days for TURP. Your urologist will then see you again after the catheter is removed and confirm when you are fit to fly. We plan your stay around that review, and your Patient Case Manager arranges everything from arrival to send off.
Yes, a catheter is placed for a short time after every one of these operations. After HoLEP it is usually removed the next morning. After Green Light it is usually removed within 48 to 72 hours. After TURP it is removed once your urine runs clear. Your nurse will show you how to manage it.
Most men can, and sex is usually possible again after three to four weeks. Many men notice little or no semen when they ejaculate afterwards, because it flows back into the bladder, but the sensation of orgasm stays the same. Kindly discuss this with your urologist before surgery if you plan to father children.
Some men feel urgency or need to pass urine more often for the first weeks while the area heals. These symptoms usually settle within about three months, and your urine flow improves almost immediately. Your urologist will teach you pelvic floor exercises to speed this up.
Your urologist decides this after your catheter has been removed and you have been reviewed. Avoid heavy lifting for about six weeks, so request help with your luggage at the airport. We will request wheelchair assistance with your airline if you need it.
Kindly tell us about every medicine you take, especially blood thinners, when you send your reports. Your urologist will decide whether they need to be stopped before surgery and for how long, and which method suits you best while you take them. Never stop a blood thinner on your own.
Send us your latest ultrasound report showing the prostate size, your PSA blood test, your urine flow test if you have one, and a list of your current medicines. A recent blood test and any heart reports help too. Send them by Email or WhatsApp and we will reply within 48 Hours.
In most cases you will be paying for yourself. Medicare does not pay for planned surgery outside the United States, and the NHS S2 route does not cover treatment in India. Some Gulf insurers cover treatment abroad only with written pre-authorisation. Kindly ask your insurer in writing before you travel and share the reply with us.
Yes. Our partner hospitals are NABH accredited, and several also hold JCI accreditation, which is recognized globally. Your surgery is carried out by Globally Trained and Highly Experienced urologists who perform these laser operations every week. You can ask us for your urologist’s credentials before you decide.
Yes. Up to two attendants can travel with you on a Medical Attendant Visa linked to your own Medical Visa. We help you choose attendant accommodation close to the hospital.
Our doctors read your reports and share them with urologists at World Class Hospitals in India. Within 48 Hours we send you their opinion, the method they recommend and a written cost estimate. Once you have confirmed to us that you wish to proceed, we arrange your hospital letter, your Medical Visa support and your airport pickup.
