TURP Surgery

Overview

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) surgery is a minimally invasive procedure designed to alleviate urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). At Apollo Hospitals Delhi, we pride ourselves on our reputation for excellence in urological care, utilizing cutting-edge technology and advanced surgical techniques to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Our team of highly skilled urologists is dedicated to providing personalized care, making Apollo Hospitals Delhi one of the best hospitals for TURP Surgery in India. With a focus on patient trust and satisfaction, we invite you to explore how TURP can improve your quality of life.

Why TURP Surgery is Necessary

TURP surgery is often necessary for men experiencing significant urinary difficulties due to an enlarged prostate. Symptoms may include frequent urination, difficulty starting or stopping urination, weak urine flow, and the sensation of incomplete bladder emptying. These symptoms can severely impact daily life and overall well-being.

The procedure involves the removal of excess prostate tissue, which relieves pressure on the urethra and improves urine flow. By opting for TURP, patients can experience significant relief from their symptoms, leading to a better quality of life. At Apollo Hospitals Delhi, our urologists assess each patient's condition thoroughly to determine the necessity of TURP surgery, ensuring that every patient receives the most appropriate treatment for their unique situation.

Risks of Delay

Delaying TURP surgery can lead to a range of complications that may worsen over time. As the prostate continues to enlarge, patients may experience increased urinary retention, which can lead to bladder damage, urinary tract infections, and even kidney problems. Chronic urinary issues can also result in significant discomfort and a decline in overall health.

At Apollo Hospitals Delhi, we emphasize the importance of timely intervention. Our expert team is equipped to provide comprehensive evaluations and recommend TURP surgery when necessary, ensuring that patients do not suffer from the adverse effects of postponing treatment. Early intervention can lead to better outcomes and a quicker return to normal activities.

Benefits of TURP Surgery

Undergoing TURP surgery offers numerous benefits, significantly enhancing the quality of life for patients. Some of the key advantages include:

  • Improved Urinary Flow: Patients often experience a marked improvement in urine flow, reducing the frequency of bathroom visits and nighttime awakenings.
  • Relief from Symptoms: Many patients report a significant reduction in urinary symptoms, such as urgency, hesitancy, and incomplete bladder emptying.
  • Enhanced Quality of Life: With improved urinary function, patients can enjoy a more active lifestyle, free from the limitations imposed by urinary issues.
  • Minimally Invasive Procedure: TURP is performed using advanced techniques that minimize recovery time and reduce the risk of complications.
  • Long-lasting Results: Most patients experience long-term relief from symptoms, with many enjoying years of improved urinary function post-surgery.

At Apollo Hospitals Delhi, we are committed to ensuring that our patients experience these benefits through our state-of-the-art facilities and expert care.

Preparation and Recovery

Preparing for TURP surgery involves several important steps to ensure a smooth experience. Here are some practical tips:

Preparation Tips:

  • Consultation: Schedule a thorough consultation with our urologists to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any medications you are currently taking.
  • Preoperative Testing: You may be required to undergo certain tests, such as blood tests or imaging studies, to assess your overall health and the extent of your prostate enlargement.
  • Medication Management: Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking. You may need to stop certain medications before surgery.
  • Dietary Adjustments: Follow any dietary recommendations provided by your healthcare team, especially regarding fasting before the procedure.

Recovery Tips:

  • Postoperative Care: After surgery, you will be monitored in the recovery area. Follow your surgeon's instructions regarding pain management and activity restrictions.
  • Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids to help flush out the bladder and reduce the risk of infection.
  • Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and address any concerns.
  • Gradual Return to Activities: Gradually resume normal activities as advised by your healthcare team, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for a few weeks.

At Apollo Hospitals Delhi, our dedicated nursing staff and urologists are available to support you throughout your recovery journey, ensuring a smooth transition back to your daily life.
