TURP

TURP at Park Hospitals is a specialized minimally invasive urological procedure performed to treat urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate gland, commonly known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The procedure is commonly recommended for men experiencing difficulty in urination due to obstruction of the urinary passage by enlarged prostate tissue. Enlargement of the prostate can gradually affect bladder function and lead to symptoms such as weak urine flow, frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, interrupted urine stream, incomplete bladder emptying, urinary retention, nighttime urination, or recurrent urinary tract infections. TURP helps relieve urinary obstruction, improve urine flow, and restore normal bladder function, thereby improving overall comfort and quality of life.

Before recommending TURP, urologists conduct comprehensive evaluations and diagnostic investigations to assess the severity of prostate enlargement and determine the most suitable treatment approach. These assessments may include physical examination, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, urine analysis, ultrasound imaging, uroflowmetry, cystoscopy, blood investigations, and bladder function studies. Symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, weak urinary stream, dribbling, painful urination, bladder discomfort, or recurrent urinary infections are carefully evaluated before planning the procedure. The treatment plan is personalized according to the patient’s age, prostate size, medical history, severity of symptoms, and overall urinary health.

During the TURP procedure, a specialized instrument called a resectoscope is inserted through the urethra to access the prostate gland without the need for external incisions. Using advanced surgical technology, the surgeon carefully removes excess prostate tissue that is blocking the urinary pathway and causing obstruction. Continuous irrigation and real-time visualization help improve precision and maintain safety throughout the procedure. Since TURP is performed through a minimally invasive approach, it avoids large surgical cuts while effectively relieving pressure on the urethra and improving urinary flow. Advanced monitoring systems and modern surgical equipment further support procedural accuracy and patient safety.

One of the major advantages of TURP is significant improvement in urinary symptoms without the need for major open surgery. Since the procedure is minimally invasive, patients generally experience reduced discomfort, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and improved urinary control compared to traditional surgical techniques. Many patients experience stronger urine flow, reduced nighttime urination, better bladder emptying, and improved daily comfort following the procedure. Relief from urinary obstruction can also help prevent complications such as bladder damage, recurrent infections, or kidney-related problems associated with untreated prostate enlargement.

With experienced urologists, advanced endourology facilities, modern surgical technology, and comprehensive urinary care services, Park Hospitals provides specialized treatment support through advanced TURP procedures. Early diagnosis, timely intervention, personalized postoperative care, and regular follow-up evaluations can help improve urinary function, relieve prostate-related symptoms, restore bladder health, and support long-term urological well-being.
