TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)

What is TURP Surgery?

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove excess prostate tissue that blocks the normal flow of urine. The procedure is performed through the natural urinary passage without making external cuts on the body.

TURP is considered one of the most effective treatments for men suffering from moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by enlarged prostate. It helps improve urine flow, reduces urinary frequency, and relieves bladder pressure.

Dr. Samarth Agarwal provides advanced TURP surgery in Siliguri using modern techniques and patient-focused care for safe and effective treatment.

When is TURP Recommended?

TURP may be recommended for men experiencing:

• Difficulty in urinating
• Weak urine stream
• Frequent urination
• Nighttime urination
• Incomplete bladder emptying
• Blood in urine due to enlarged prostate
• Repeated urinary infections
• Urinary blockage caused by prostate enlargement

Patients who do not get adequate relief from medications may require TURP surgery for long-term improvement.

How is TURP Performed?

During the procedure, a specialized instrument is inserted through the urethra to reach the prostate gland. Excess prostate tissue blocking the urinary passage is carefully removed to improve urine flow.

Since the procedure is performed internally without external incisions, patients generally experience quicker recovery and less postoperative discomfort compared to open surgery.

The surgery usually takes around 1 to 2 hours depending on the size of the prostate and patient condition.

Benefits of TURP Surgery

TURP offers several advantages for patients suffering from enlarged prostate.

Key benefits include:

• Improved urine flow
• Reduced urinary frequency
• Better bladder emptying
• Relief from urinary blockage
• Long-term symptom improvement
• Minimally invasive treatment
• Faster recovery compared to traditional surgery

Many patients notice significant improvement in urinary symptoms after recovery.

Recovery After TURP

Most patients stay in the hospital for a short period after TURP surgery. A temporary catheter may be placed to help urine drainage during the initial healing phase.

Recovery usually takes a few weeks, during which patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities. Mild burning sensation during urination and temporary urinary frequency may occur during recovery but generally improve with time.

Dr. Samarth Agarwal provides complete postoperative guidance and follow-up care to ensure smooth healing and better long-term results.

Possible Risks and Side Effects

Like any surgical procedure, TURP may have certain risks and side effects, although serious complications are uncommon.

Possible risks may include:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Burning during urination
• Temporary urinary incontinence
• Retrograde ejaculation
• Erectile difficulties in rare cases

Proper medical evaluation and follow-up care help reduce complications and improve recovery outcomes.
