Prostate Removal (TURP) Surgery in Hyderabad

TURP surgery procedure includes using a resectoscope which is a combined visual and surgical instrument. This instrument is inserted through the tip of the penis into the urinary tube that carries urine from your urethra. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra. The inserted resectoscope helps your doctor to trim away excess prostate tissue which blocks the flow of urine.

TURP surgery is generally recommended to patients who suffer from moderate to severe urinary issues that show no improvement to medication. TURP is a traditional and most effective way to deal with an enlarged prostate.

   Symptoms of BPH include:

   • Frequent and urgent need to urinate
   • Difficulty starting urination
   • Urinary tract infections
   • Prolonged urination
   • Inability to empty your bladder at once
2. Treat or prevent complications due to blocked flow of urine

   Causes of blocked urine flow include:

   • Urinary tract infections that reoccur
   • Inability to urinate at all
   • Damage in the kidney or bladder
   • Blood in your urine
   • Bladder stones

If you are under certain medication, your doctor might ask you to discontinue that for some days before you go for prostate removal surgery. After the surgery, a catheter is left into your bladder to allow the flow of urine out of your system. When you recover completely, your doctor will remove the catheter out from your bladder. Make sure you do not perform any strenuous activity for up to six week post-surgery.
