In the past, complex urological conditions often meant invasive surgery, lengthy hospital
stays, and a slow, painful recovery. But what if there was a better way? What if we could
offer the same world-class, minimally invasive procedures available in the West, right here at
home?
Dr Rasik Kantaria Jalaram Medical Services is proud to announce the arrival of a cutting-
edge urology solution: the 150-Watt Magneto Holmium Laser with Thulium Dusting
Properties. This isn’t just another medical device; it’s a game-changer that combines
incredible power with unmatched precision to treat a range of conditions. We unveil the most
advanced medical laser in East Africa.
The Power of Two: High Power Holmium Laser with Dusting Properties of Thulium
Lasers
While it is a Holmium Laser, this revolutionary machine uses magneto technology to
incorporate the dusting properties of Thulium Lasers. This unique versatility allows us to
tackle a variety of urological issues with minimal impact on your body. Here’s what makes
this laser so special:
High Power for Complex Procedures: With 150 watts of power, this laser is more
than double the strength of other lasers in the region. This high energy is essential for
prostrate surgical procedures like Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate
(HoLEP), which treats an enlarged prostate by removing obstructive tissue with
remarkable efficiency and minimal bleeding. It effectively and safely clears the
blockage, providing a long-lasting solution for improved urine flow.

- Precision for “Dusting” Stones: The key to this laser’s versatility is its Thulium Dusting Properties. Imagine a stone being hit by a powerful beam. Instead of breaking it into large, sharp fragments that need to be removed, this laser can “dust” the stone into microscopic particles. These tiny particles are so small that they can simply be passed naturally in the urine, often without the need for a separate procedure to collect them. This dusting technique is particularly effective for managing kidney and ureteric stones.
The Advantages of High-Power Laser Technology
By bringing this Western-standard technology to Kenya, we can now offer several significant
benefits for patients.
- Same-Day Surgery: Jalaram Medical Services offers same-day surgeries. You come in the morning, undergo surgery, and go home in the evening.
- Minimally Invasive: Unlike traditional open prostatectomy, these laser procedures are performed through the body’s natural openings. This means no large incisions, less blood loss, and a significant reduction in pain. Laser prostate surgery is also a major step forward compared to transurethral resection of the prostate
- Faster Recovery: Because the procedures are minimally invasive, recovery times are dramatically shorter. Patients can return to their normal activities much more quickly, and hospital stays are often reduced to just a day or two.
- Reduced Complications: The laser’s ability to precisely target tissue and seal blood vessels on contact leads to a lower risk of bleeding and infection. This is a major advantage, especially for patients on blood thinners or those with other health concerns.
- Effective for Various Conditions: This high-powered laser is not limited to just one condition. It is highly effective for Prostate Enlargement (BPH): Providing a durable, long-term solution by effectively removing obstructive prostate tissue, Kidney & Bladder Stones: Fragmentation and dusting of stones into fine particles that can be passed naturally, often eliminating the need for a second procedure, Urinary Strictures: Precisely cutting away scar tissue in the urethra to restore proper urine flow and many more.
The introduction of this advanced laser technology is a step forward in urological care for our
region. We’re proud to combine this cutting-edge innovation with compassionate,
personalized care to help our patients achieve better health and a faster, more comfortable
recovery.
