Advanced HoLEP Training in Strasbourg

An important part of Dr. Christos Moiragias’ specialist development concerns the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

In 2022, he received advanced training at the University of Strasbourg in France as part of the IRCAD program.

His training focused on transurethral laser enucleation of the prostate using the HoLEP technique.

Following this training, Dr. Moiragias became certified in the application of HoLEP surgery.

HoLEP, or Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate, is an endoscopic technique used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in appropriately selected patients.

The procedure uses laser energy to remove the enlarged prostate tissue responsible for urinary obstruction.

Because the operation is performed through the urinary tract, it does not require the external incision associated with conventional open prostate surgery.

Dr. Moiragias’ training in HoLEP complements his broader experience in endoscopic, minimally invasive and laser Urology.

Clinical Expertise

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, commonly referred to as BPH, represents one of the important areas of Dr. Moiragias’ clinical and surgical practice.

The condition involves non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate and may cause urinary symptoms such as:

• Weak urinary flow
• Difficulty starting urination
• Frequent urination
• Nighttime urination
• Incomplete bladder emptying
• Urinary retention

Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms, prostate characteristics, diagnostic findings, previous treatment and the general clinical condition of the patient.

Dr. Moiragias performs several contemporary surgical and minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia, including:

• HoLEP laser prostate surgery
• Rezum water-vapor therapy
• TURis prostate surgery

The most appropriate treatment is selected according to the individual characteristics and clinical needs of each patient.

HoLEP Laser Prostate Surgery

HoLEP is one of the modern techniques used by Dr. Moiragias for the surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The technique uses holmium laser energy to separate and remove enlarged prostate tissue that is obstructing urinary flow.

The procedure is performed endoscopically through the urinary tract.

Dr. Moiragias’ dedicated HoLEP training at IRCAD in Strasbourg builds on his previous experience in endoscopic and minimally invasive Urology.

Patient selection remains an important part of treatment planning, as the appropriate procedure depends on several factors, including prostate anatomy, severity of symptoms and the patient’s wider medical profile.

Rezum Therapy

Dr. Christos Moiragias also performs Rezum therapy for appropriately selected patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Rezum is a minimally invasive technique that uses controlled water vapor delivered into specific areas of enlarged prostate tissue.

The thermal energy generated by the vapor acts on the targeted tissue, which is subsequently reduced through the body’s natural healing processes.

The suitability of Rezum therapy is determined after specialist urological assessment and depends on the characteristics of the prostate and the clinical needs of the individual patient.

TURis Prostate Surgery

Another surgical technique used by Dr. Moiragias in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia is TURis prostate surgery.

This transurethral technique is performed endoscopically and is designed to remove prostate tissue responsible for obstruction of urinary flow.

The decision between TURis, HoLEP, Rezum or another treatment option is based on the patient’s diagnosis and individual clinical characteristics.

Kidney and Ureteral Stones

Urinary stone disease is another important part of Dr. Moiragias’ urological practice.

Kidney and ureteral stones can cause severe pain, urinary obstruction, infection and other complications depending on their size and location.

Dr. Moiragias performs flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy for the treatment of selected stones affecting the kidney and ureter.

Flexible ureteroscopy allows specialized endoscopic instruments to reach the urinary tract without conventional open surgery.

Laser energy can then be used to fragment the stone and facilitate its removal or natural passage.

The appropriate treatment strategy depends on several factors, including:

• Stone size
• Stone location
• Urinary tract anatomy
• Presence of obstruction
• Associated symptoms
• Previous episodes of stone disease
• Overall clinical condition

The objective is to select an effective treatment while minimizing unnecessary surgical trauma whenever possible.

Robotic Urological Surgery

Robotic surgery represents an important part of Dr. Christos Moiragias’ professional background.

From 2016 until April 2022, he worked as an Attending Urological Surgeon at the Robotic Urology Department of Metropolitan Hospital under Professor V. Poulakis.

During this period, he gained experience in urological operations performed with the Da Vinci robotic surgical system.

Robotic systems provide the surgeon with enhanced visualization and precise instrument control during selected minimally invasive procedures.

The suitability of robotic surgery depends on the underlying condition, the required operation and the individual characteristics of the patient.

Dr. Moiragias’ experience in robotic Urology forms part of his broader professional focus on minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Urological Oncology

Dr. Moiragias evaluates and treats patients with a range of urological malignancies as part of his wider urological practice.

These include:

• Prostate cancer
• Kidney cancer
• Bladder cancer
• Testicular cancer

Management of urological cancer requires individualized assessment according to the type and characteristics of the tumor.

Diagnostic findings, imaging, pathology results, disease extent, patient age and general medical condition all contribute to treatment planning.

Where appropriate, modern endoscopic or robotic techniques may form part of the surgical strategy.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer represents one of the major conditions managed within modern Urological Oncology.

Treatment planning depends on several factors, including disease stage, tumor characteristics, PSA findings, imaging, pathology results and the general health of the patient.

Not every patient requires the same treatment approach.

For this reason, specialist assessment is necessary to determine the most appropriate strategy according to the characteristics of each individual case.

Kidney Cancer

Kidney cancer is another condition included within Dr. Moiragias’ urological practice.

The appropriate management depends on characteristics such as tumor size, location, imaging findings, renal function and the patient’s overall clinical profile.

Modern surgical management may include minimally invasive approaches in appropriately selected cases.

Detailed preoperative evaluation is therefore an important part of determining the most appropriate treatment strategy.

Bladder Conditions & Cystoscopy

Dr. Moiragias performs cystoscopy for the investigation and management of selected conditions affecting the bladder and lower urinary tract.

Cystoscopy allows direct visualization of the urethra and bladder using a specialized endoscopic instrument.

His clinical activity also includes endoscopic removal of bladder lesions when medically indicated.

Such procedures may form part of the diagnosis and treatment of bladder tumors and other abnormalities affecting the lower urinary tract.

Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence can significantly affect everyday activities and quality of life.

Its causes vary and appropriate treatment depends on identifying the underlying mechanism responsible for the symptoms.

Dr. Moiragias’ surgical experience includes the placement of sling systems for selected cases of urinary incontinence.

The treatment strategy is individualized following clinical assessment and evaluation of the type and severity of incontinence.

Andrology

Alongside general Urology, Andrology represents an important part of Dr. Moiragias’ clinical practice.

Andrology focuses on conditions affecting male reproductive and sexual health.

His clinical activity includes the assessment and treatment of conditions such as:

• Male infertility
• Varicocele
• Erectile dysfunction
• Hydrocele
• Phimosis

The appropriate treatment may involve diagnostic investigation, conservative management or surgical intervention depending on the underlying condition.

Male Infertility

Male infertility represents a particular field of clinical interest for Dr. Christos Moiragias.

Male fertility problems may be associated with several different factors, including abnormalities affecting sperm production, testicular function and the anatomy of the reproductive system.

Evaluation therefore requires an individualized approach rather than a single diagnostic pathway.

Where a surgically correctable condition is identified, surgery may form part of the wider fertility treatment strategy.

Dr. Moiragias’ interest in male infertility forms part of his broader Andrology practice.

Microsurgical Treatment of Varicocele

Varicocele is characterized by enlargement of the veins surrounding the testicle.

In selected patients, the condition may be associated with discomfort, altered testicular function or fertility problems.

Dr. Moiragias performs microsurgical treatment of varicocele when surgical intervention is clinically indicated.

Microsurgical techniques provide enhanced visualization of the small anatomical structures involved during the procedure.

The decision to proceed with treatment depends on symptoms, examination findings and fertility considerations.

Erectile Dysfunction & Penile Prosthesis

The diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction also form part of Dr. Moiragias’ Andrology practice.

The appropriate treatment depends on the cause, severity of symptoms, previous therapy and individual needs of the patient.

His surgical experience includes penile prosthesis implantation for selected patients with erectile dysfunction when this treatment is medically indicated.

A penile prosthesis may be considered when conservative treatment options have not provided an appropriate result or are unsuitable for the individual patient.

Laser Circumcision

Dr. Moiragias also performs circumcision using laser technology.

Circumcision may be indicated in selected patients with conditions such as phimosis.

Phimosis occurs when the foreskin cannot be adequately retracted and may be associated with discomfort, inflammation or other symptoms.

The decision to proceed with treatment is based on clinical examination and the individual patient’s condition.

Approach to Modern Urological Surgery

The clinical approach of Dr. Moiragias is based on careful diagnostic assessment and individualized treatment planning.

Modern Urology offers multiple treatment options for many conditions, ranging from conservative management to endoscopic, laser, minimally invasive and robotic surgery.

The most technologically advanced procedure is not necessarily the appropriate treatment for every patient.

The selection of treatment therefore depends on factors such as:

• The underlying diagnosis
• Severity of symptoms
• Laboratory findings
• Imaging results
• Anatomical characteristics
• Previous treatments
• Overall medical condition
• Expected benefits and potential risks of treatment

The objective is to select an appropriate therapeutic strategy according to the individual clinical circumstances of each patient.
