About Transurethral Resection of Prostate

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by a urologist to treat an enlarged prostate, a condition known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). It is considered the gold standard surgical treatment for BPH. During the procedure, the surgeon inserts a thin, lighted instrument called a resectoscope through the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) and into the prostate. No external incisions are made. Using a wire loop on the resectoscope, the surgeon then carefully trims away the excess prostate tissue that is blocking the urethra and causing urinary symptoms. The removed tissue is flushed out, and a catheter is typically placed temporarily to aid healing and drainage. TURP effectively relieves symptoms like frequent urination, weak stream, and incomplete bladder emptying, significantly improving quality of life.

Who is this surgery for?

Moderate to severe symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) not relieved by medication.
Recurrent urinary tract infections due to urinary retention.
Bladder stones caused by chronic urine retention.
Recurrent or persistent blood in the urine (hematuria) from the prostate.
Kidney damage (hydronephrosis) due to bladder outlet obstruction.
Acute urinary retention (inability to urinate).
Significant post-void residual urine volume.

How to prepare

Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including blood tests and urine analysis.
Discontinue blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) as advised by your doctor, typically 5-7 days prior.
Inform your urologist of all medications, supplements, and allergies.
Undergo imaging tests like a transrectal ultrasound to assess prostate size and shape.
Fast (no food or drink) for 6-8 hours before the procedure if general or spinal anesthesia is planned.
Arrange for transportation home and for post-operative assistance.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding during or after the procedure, which may require a blood transfusion.
Temporary difficulty urinating or urinary incontinence (leakage).
Infection, such as a urinary tract infection (UTI) or epididymitis.
Retrograde ejaculation (dry orgasm), which is common and often permanent.
Urethral stricture (narrowing) or bladder neck contracture requiring further treatment.
TURP syndrome (rare), a fluid absorption issue causing electrolyte imbalance.
Erectile dysfunction, though less common with modern techniques.
Need for a repeat procedure if symptoms recur.

Recovery & hospital stay

A urinary catheter is usually in place for 1-3 days to allow the bladder to heal.
Drink plenty of water (2-3 liters daily) to flush the bladder and reduce bleeding risk.
Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and driving for 2-3 weeks.
Expect blood in the urine (pink or red color) for several weeks; it should gradually clear.
Take prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection and pain medication as needed.
Follow-up with your urologist to monitor healing, remove the catheter, and assess urine flow.
Full recovery and stabilization of urinary function may take 4-6 weeks.

Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days
Expected recovery time: 4-6 weeks for full recovery
