Computer-assisted laser resection of the prostate (CALRP)

Computer-Assisted Laser Resection of the Prostate (CALRP) is a treatment modality which was designed and developed based on an integrated system of computer, robotics and laser technology in association with a minimal invasive surgery known as Laser transurethral Resection of the Prostate (LRP).
