What is TURP Surgery?

TURP surgery (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is a minimally invasive prostate surgery used to treat urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate. It is one of the most commonly performed procedures for men who do not get adequate relief from medication.

During TURP prostate surgery, a specialised surgical instrument is passed through the urethra to remove excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow. This helps improve symptoms such as difficulty urinating, weak urine stream, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying. In some cases, doctors may recommend laser TURP surgery, which uses laser energy for precise tissue removal and reduced bleeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

TURP is recommended for men with moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by prostate enlargement, such as difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, frequent urination, or urinary retention, especially when medications are not effective.

The surgery typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the prostate and individual patient factors.

The procedure is performed under spinal or general anaesthesia, so there is no pain during surgery. Mild discomfort may be experienced during recovery, which is usually well controlled with medication.

Most patients require a 1 to 3 day hospital stay for monitoring and recovery, depending on their overall health and response to surgery.

Most patients can return to normal daily activities within 2 to 4 weeks. Complete recovery and improvement in urinary symptoms may continue over several weeks.

As with any surgical procedure, TURP may carry risks such as bleeding, infection, temporary urinary incontinence, or urinary tract infection. Serious complications are uncommon when performed by experienced urologists.
