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 Nellore, we pride ourselves on our reputation for excellence in urological care, utilizing advanced technology and innovative techniques to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Our team of experienced urologists is dedicated to providing personalized care, making us one of the best hospitals for TURP Surgery in the region. With a focus on patient trust and satisfaction, we are committed to guiding you through every step of your treatment journey.

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
  • The sensation of incomplete bladder emptying

These symptoms can severely impact quality of life, leading to sleep disturbances, anxiety, and even depression.

The procedure involves removing excess prostate tissue that is obstructing the urethra, thereby improving urine flow and alleviating discomfort. The benefits of TURP surgery extend beyond symptom relief; it can also reduce the risk of urinary tract infections, bladder stones, and kidney damage associated with untreated BPH. At Apollo Hospitals Nellore, we understand the importance of timely intervention and are here to help you regain control over your urinary health.

Risks of Delay

Delaying TURP surgery can lead to a range of complications that may worsen your condition. As BPH progresses, urinary retention can become more severe, potentially leading to acute urinary retention, which is a painful and urgent medical condition requiring immediate intervention. Additionally, prolonged obstruction can result in bladder damage, recurrent urinary tract infections, and even kidney impairment.

At Apollo Hospitals Nellore, we emphasize the urgency of addressing urinary symptoms promptly. Our expert team is ready to evaluate your condition and recommend the best course of action to prevent complications and ensure your long-term health.

Benefits of TURP Surgery

Undergoing TURP surgery offers numerous benefits that can significantly enhance your quality of life. Patients often experience:

  1. Improved Urinary Flow: The primary goal of TURP is to relieve urinary obstruction, leading to a stronger and more consistent urine stream.
  2. Reduced Symptoms: Many patients report a significant decrease in urinary symptoms, including urgency, frequency, and nocturia (nighttime urination).
  3. Enhanced Quality of Life: With improved urinary function, patients often experience better sleep, reduced anxiety, and an overall enhancement in daily activities.
  4. Minimally Invasive Approach: TURP is performed using advanced techniques that minimize recovery time and reduce the risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.
  5. Long-lasting Results: Most patients enjoy sustained relief from symptoms for years following the procedure, making TURP a highly effective treatment option.

At Apollo Hospitals Nellore, our commitment to excellence ensures that you receive the highest standard of care, leading to successful outcomes and improved well-being.

Preparation and Recovery

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

  1. Consultation: Schedule a thorough consultation with our urologists at Apollo Hospitals Nellore. Discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any medications you are currently taking.
  2. Preoperative Instructions: Follow any preoperative instructions provided by your healthcare team, which may include dietary restrictions or medication adjustments.
  3. Arrange Transportation: Since TURP is typically performed under anesthesia, arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure.
  4. Postoperative Care: After surgery, you may experience some discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain relief. Follow your surgeon’s advice regarding activity restrictions and hydration.
  5. Follow-Up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and address any concerns.

Recovery from TURP surgery varies by individual, but most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks. At Apollo Hospitals Nellore, our dedicated team will provide you with personalized recovery plans to ensure a smooth transition back to your daily routine.
