Overview

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a common surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate enlarges and obstructs urine flow.

The procedure involves removing excess prostate tissue through the urethra, relieving obstruction and improving urinary symptoms. TURP is considered the gold standard for moderate to severe BPH not responding to medications.

Indications and Patient Selection

Patients with urinary retention, recurrent urinary tract infections, bladder stones, or significant lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH may benefit from TURP. Preoperative assessment ensures safety and optimal results.

Surgical Procedure

TURP is performed using a resectoscope inserted through the urethra. Excess prostate tissue is removed, and bleeding is controlled to restore urine flow effectively.

Postoperative Care and Recovery

Recovery involves catheter management, hydration, and monitoring for complications. Most patients resume normal activities within 1–2 weeks.
