TURP
TURP treatment in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore
A TURP is a transurethral resection of the prostate. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The prostate is a gland that is located just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. BPH is a condition in which the prostate gland enlarges, causing urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, and hesitancy.
A TURP involves removing a portion of the prostate gland through the urethra. A resectoscope, a long, thin telescope-like instrument, is inserted through the tip of the penis into the urethra. The resectoscope is then used to visualize the prostate gland and to resect (cut) the tissue. The removed tissue is then sent to a pathology lab for analysis.
A TURP is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, and patients can often go home the same day. Recovery from a TURP usually takes a few weeks. Patients may experience some urinary symptoms such as frequency, urgency, and hesitancy during this time. These symptoms should improve as the healing process continues. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.
Pre-procedure for TURP
A few things need to be done before a TURP can be performed.
-
First, the patient will need a complete physical exam and medical history taken by the doctor. It is to make sure that the patient is healthy enough for the procedure and to rule out any other potential health problems.
-
Next, the patient will need to have some tests done, such as a urinalysis, blood work, and a chest x-ray. These tests are important to make sure that the patient does not have any infection or other health problems that could complicate the procedure.
-
Finally, the patient will need to sign a consent form, which gives the doctor permission to perform the procedure.
Procedure for TURP
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure to treat urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate. During TURP, a thin, telescope-like instrument is inserted through the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body) and up to the prostate gland. The surgeon then uses an electrical current to destroy tissue in the prostate that is blocking urine flow. Visit our urology hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment.
TURP is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, which means you can go home the same day. The procedure usually takes about 1 to 2 hours. You will likely be given a general anaesthetic to keep you asleep during the surgery.
Post-procedure
After transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), a Foley catheter is inserted to help with healing and prevent bleeding. The catheter is usually removed after one to two days. During this time, you will likely stay in the hospital. Once the catheter is removed, you will be able to urinate on your own. You may have some urinary frequency and urgency for a few days. You may also have blood in your urine for a week or so. You will be given antibiotics to help prevent infection. You will be asked to see your doctor for a follow-up visit a few weeks after the procedure
