Enlarged prostate (BPH)
What is TURP surgery?
What is TURP surgery?
In brief
TURP, or transurethral resection of the prostate, removes prostate tissue that blocks urine. A scope goes through the urethra, so there are no skin cuts.
What it involves
An electric loop trims away tissue. It has been used for decades and gives strong improvement in flow for many men. Most men stay one night and have a catheter for a short time. Dry ejaculation is common afterward.
Time to come in?
If BPH symptoms aren't controlled, schedule a visit so our urologists can compare TURP with newer options for you.
