About Transurethral Drainage of Prostate Abscess

Transurethral Drainage of Prostate Abscess is a minimally invasive urological procedure performed to treat a collection of pus (abscess) within the prostate gland. A urologist uses a cystoscope, a thin tube with a camera, inserted through the urethra to locate the abscess. Under direct visualization, specialized instruments are then used to puncture the abscess wall and drain the infected fluid. This procedure effectively relieves pressure, reduces pain and fever, and allows for targeted antibiotic delivery. It is a crucial intervention to prevent the spread of infection, sepsis, and long-term complications like urinary retention or fistula formation, promoting faster recovery compared to open surgery.

Key Highlights
