Trusted by Patients From 35+ Countries
What is TURP Surgery?
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — a condition where the prostate gland becomes enlarged and blocks the flow of urine.
In TURP, a thin instrument called a resectoscope is inserted through the urethra (no external cuts), and excess prostate tissue is removed to relieve urinary obstruction and improve urine flow.
Why is TURP Surgery Done?
TURP surgery is recommended when:
- There is difficulty in starting urination
- Weak or interrupted urine stream
- Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
- Incomplete bladder emptying
- Urinary retention (inability to urinate)
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Bladder stones or kidney damage due to blockage
Who is an Eligible Candidate for TURP Surgery in India?
You may be a suitable candidate if:
- Diagnosed with moderate to severe BPH
- Medications are not effective
- Experiencing significant urinary symptoms
- Have complications like bladder stones or retention
- Prostate size is suitable for TURP procedure
A urologist will assess your condition and recommend the best treatment option.
Types of TURP Surgery
Depending on technology and approach, TURP may include:
1. Monopolar TURP
- Traditional method
- Uses electric current to remove prostate tissue
2. Bipolar TURP
- Advanced and safer technique
- Lower risk of complications
3. Laser TURP / Laser Prostate Surgery
- Uses laser energy to remove or vaporize tissue
- Less bleeding and faster recovery
Diagnostic Tests Done Before TURP Surgery
Doctors may recommend:
- Digital Rectal Examination (DRE)
- PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) Test
- Urine Test
- Ultrasound (KUB or Prostate)
- Uroflowmetry (to measure urine flow)
- Cystoscopy (in some cases)
These tests help evaluate prostate size, urinary flow, and rule out other conditions.
