Trans Urethral Resection of Prostate treatment is an urgological procedure implemented on a global scale. The procedure is highly helpful in treating prostatic hyperplasia which are mostly benign in nature. These procedures are minimally invasive and have been proven to be excellent in terms of effectiveness. However, the success rate also depends on the type of tumor and extent to which it has already spread. In several cases, the tumor may have a chance of recurrence post procedure, which calls of multiple TURP.
TURP involves removal of benign tissues by thorough monitoring from the urethra. The procedure involves sharp end dissection or electrocautery of the tumor. Most frequently implemented for cutting off on additional tissue that causes the prostate to enlarge, TURP is executed with the help of a fine device, known as resectoscope. It is inserted through the urinary meatus or the opening in the penis, which then travels through the urethra, reaches the target region (prostrate) and shreds the excess tissue to release blockage in the urinary tract.
Trans Urethral Resection of Prostate treatment is offered to reduce the symptoms of prostate enlargement and other urine-related disorders. However, the procedure may result in several symptoms and side effects which needs to be closely monitored. In general, pain in the lower abdomen or back pain is common post procedure. However, in several cases, one of more of the following symptoms have been observed post-TURP treatments in several patients, which are:
In severe cases, the candidate may get into coma or even die due to multiple complexities.
In general, TURP treatment cost may vary from $4567 to $20,000 in major countries furnishing the procedure. However, in developing countries, the cost may be as low as $2000. Such variations depend on a number of factors which affect the treatment cost, these are:
Apart from this, the payable cost also depends on the insurance cover available for the candidate.

The enlarged prostate gland can become a subject of concern after a certain age in men. It causes trouble while urinating and that is one of the main reason why such men are advised to undergo trans urethral resection of prostate (TURP) surgery.
The prostate gland goes through two phases as a man grows old. The growth phase occurs during puberty when the gland assumes double its size. The second phase of growth takes place after a man has attained the age of 25. This final size at this stage continues to remain the same throughout the life. But when men suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia, the prostate gland gets further enlarged.
When the gland enlarges, it squeezes the urethra and as a result, the wall of the bladder grows thick. With time, the bladder grows weak and loses its ability to empty the urine completely. This allows some urine to stay back in the bladder at all times. Along with this, the urethra also narrows and hence, all the problems associated with urination keep coming back.
As of now, it is not totally clear why most men develop BPH but it mainly indicates an imbalance of hormones and sexual activities with advanced age. Apart from that, there can be urinary tract infection, narrowing of the urethra known as urethral stricture, inflammation of the prostate, bladder or stones in the kidney, nerve problems in controlling the bladder, or scarring in the neck of the bladder as a result of previous surgery.
The following are some of the symptoms of BPH:
Frequent urge to urinate
Some of these above symptoms can occur even in men whose prostate has not enlarged significantly.
Patients are required to stay in the hospital for at least one to two days after the procedure. Patients who undergo TURP are required to have a catheter in place for urine drainage for at least a few days. The catheter is removed when the swelling reduces and the patient is in a position to urinate by himself.
It is normal to experience blood in the urine right after the surgery, pain at the time of urination, and frequent urination after the surgery. However, you must contact the doctor in case you are unable to urinate at all, develop fever, or notice the presence of clots in the urine.
After the surgery, you are required to:
