TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)
A Unique Approach for BPH Relief
What it is
TURP is a surgical procedure used to treat severe BPH symptoms. It involves the removal of excess prostate tissue that is obstructing the flow of urine. This procedure is performed using a resectoscope, which is inserted through the urethra, meaning no external incisions are necessary. TURP is often recommended when other treatments, such as medication or minimally invasive therapies, have failed.
Who is eligible:
TURP is recommended for men with severe BPH symptoms, particularly those experiencing acute urinary retention, recurrent urinary tract infections or bladder stones due to prostate enlargement. It is also suitable for men who need a long-term solution and are comfortable with a more invasive approach compared to minimally invasive procedures.
Benefits:
- Significant long-term relief from urinary obstruction
- Improved urinary flow and quality of life
- No external incisions, as the procedure is done through the urethra
- Proven effectiveness for advanced BPH cases
Recovery time:
Patients typically spend 1-2 days in the hospital and recover for 4-6 weeks. Full recovery depends on individual healing, but most patients see significant improvements in their urinary flow within a few weeks.
