Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

TURP Surgery in Mukundapur

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a well-established and highly effective surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate gland enlarges and obstructs urine flow. It helps relieve urinary symptoms, improve bladder function, and significantly enhance quality of life.

Manipal Hospitals offers advanced Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) in Mukundapur, Kolkata, with expert urologists and comprehensive patient care throughout the treatment journey.

Why is Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) done?

This procedure is recommended to:

  • Treat moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by enlarged prostate

  • Improve urine flow and reduce difficulty in emptying the bladder

  • Relieve symptoms such as frequent urination, weak stream, and urgency

  • Manage complications like urinary retention or recurrent infections

  • Enhance overall comfort and quality of life

If BPH is not treated in time, it can lead to complications such as worsening urinary symptoms, bladder damage, recurrent infections, kidney problems, and reduced quality of life. Timely intervention with TURP helps prevent these complications and restores normal urinary function.

What happens before Transurethral Resection of the Prostate?

Our urology team will prepare you for the procedure with:

  • Detailed evaluation including blood tests, urine tests, and imaging

  • Assessment of overall health and fitness for anaesthesia

  • Review of medical history and current medications

  • Instructions regarding fasting and medication adjustments

  • Pre-procedure counselling for the patient and family

What happens during Transurethral Resection of the Prostate?

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) typically takes 60–90 minutes, depending on prostate size and complexity. At Manipal Hospitals Mukundapur, Kolkata, this procedure is performed under anaesthesia in the following manner:

  • A resectoscope is inserted through the urethra without any external incision

  • Excess prostate tissue blocking the urethra is identified

  • An electrical loop is used to cut and remove small pieces of the prostate

  • The removed tissue is flushed out to create a wider urinary passage

What happens after Transurethral Resection of the Prostate?

After TURP, patients are monitored in the hospital, and a catheter is usually placed temporarily to help drain urine and flush the bladder. Mild discomfort, burning during urination, or slight bleeding may occur initially. Most patients stay in the hospital for 1–3 days and gradually resume normal activities over a few weeks. Adequate hydration, medication adherence, and follow-up visits are essential for smooth recovery.

FAQ's

You may need TURP if you have moderate to severe urinary symptoms due to an enlarged prostate that are not relieved by medications. It helps improve urine flow, relieve symptoms, and enhance overall quality of life.

Yes, TURP is considered a safe and standard procedure when performed by experienced urologists. At Manipal Hospitals, advanced technology and expert care ensure high safety and successful outcomes.

Most patients undergoing TURP typically require a hospital stay of about 1–3 days. The duration may vary depending on individual recovery, overall health, and how well the patient responds to the procedure and post-operative care.

TURP generally does not affect erectile function, and most men can maintain normal sexual activity. However, it may cause retrograde ejaculation, where semen flows backwards into the bladder. This is harmless but can impact fertility in some patients.

Most patients can resume light daily activities within 1–2 weeks after TURP. A full return to normal routines typically takes around 4–6 weeks, depending on individual recovery, overall health, and adherence to post-operative care instructions.
