What is TURP?

TURP is the gold standard surgical treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) – a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland. The procedure is performed using a resectoscope inserted through the urethra (no external incision). Excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow is removed, improving urination.

Symptoms

Bladder stones or kidney problems caused by BPH
Difficulty in starting urination
Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
Incomplete bladder emptying
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to obstruction
Urinary urgency and incontinence
Weak or interrupted urine stream

Causes (of BPH requiring TURP)

Family history
Chronic conditions
Aging
Hormonal changes
Lifestyle factors

Types of TURP

Bipolar TURP
Monopolar TURP

Diagnosis (Before Surgery)

Digital Rectal Exam (DRE)
PSA Test
Ultrasound (TRUS / KUB)
Urine Flow Test (Uroflowmetry)
Blood Tests

TURP Treatment (Surgical Approach)

01
Endoscopic Resection of Prostate Tissue

A resectoscope is inserted through the urethra without any cut. Excess prostate tissue blocking urine flow is shaved off using an electric loop

02
Electrocautery/Plasma Energy Resection

• Monopolar TURP – uses saline with electric current

• Bipolar TURP – safer, less bleeding, preferred. Allows precise removal of enlarged prostate tissue.

03
Continuous Bladder Irrigation

After resection, saline irrigation helps prevent clot formation and maintains clear urine flow.

04
Catheter Placement

A Foley catheter is inserted to allow healing and ensure proper urine drainage. Usually removed in 1–3 days.

05
Management of Obstructive Prostate Lobes

Includes removal of median lobe or lateral lobes causing obstruction. Restores normal urine flow and reduces symptoms

Why You Should Not Delay

Delaying TURP surgery may worsen urinary problems, increase the risk of recurrent UTIs, and cause bladder or kidney damage. Early treatment restores normal urine flow and prevents long-term complications.
