About Prostate Resection Surgery

Prostate resection surgery, often referred to as Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP), is a common urological procedure performed to treat an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). A urologist inserts a specialized instrument called a resectoscope through the urethra to remove excess prostate tissue that is obstructing urine flow. This minimally invasive approach avoids external incisions, leading to less pain and a quicker recovery compared to open surgery. TURP is considered the gold standard for relieving moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by BPH, significantly improving quality of life by restoring normal urination. The procedure is highly effective for reducing symptoms like frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying.

PATIENT REVIEW

Rohan Saxena, a 58-year-old software architect...

Rohan Saxena, a 58-year-old software architect and father of two, had been managing mild urinary symptoms for years. An avid hiker, he began noticing his trips to the bathroom were disrupting his sleep 4-5 times a night and causing urgency during long meetings. His primary care doctor diagnosed Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Medications provided minimal relief, and his quality of life declined as he avoided long drives and social gatherings. His urologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended a Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) after an ultrasound confirmed significant prostate enlargement. Rohan was anxious about surgery but desperate for relief. The procedure under spinal anesthesia went smoothly. The initial recovery involved a catheter for two days and some burning with urination, but within a week, the constant urge to go was gone. Six weeks post-op, he was sleeping through the night and back on the trails. Emotionally, he moved from frustration and embarrassment about his condition to immense relief and regained confidence, feeling like he had reclaimed his independence.
