Frequently Asked Questions

How is TURP carried out?

To access the prostate, the surgeon passes a resectoscope through the penis and into the urethra. Excess tissue is shaved off and flushed out using an electrical loop. Usually, either spinal or general anesthesia is used for the procedure. Usually, it takes between sixty and ninety minutes.

Is TURP accessible in all of Turkey's major cities?

Yes, TURP is widely accessible in prestigious hospitals in Antalya, Izmir, Ankara, and Istanbul. Turkish urology clinics have state-of-the-art endoscopic equipment. International patient departments and coordinators speak English at medical tourism hubs.

How can I get ready for Turkey's TURP?

Before surgery, you will need to undergo an ECG, basic blood tests, and urine tests. Steer clear of blood thinners seven to ten days beforehand. Before the procedure, please fast for 6 to 8 hours. You will receive a comprehensive pre-op checklist from your hospital.

Are the medical professionals in Turkey qualified to perform transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)?

Yes, Turkish urologists have received international training and have experience with the TURP procedure. Many are certified by the European Board of Medicine. Hospitals are entirely open about the qualifications of their surgeons. Before you travel for surgery, you can request a video consultation to discuss your procedure in detail.

Can I fly shortly after the procedure?

It is recommended that most patients wait seven to ten days before flying. To minimise the risk of blood clots, it is recommended to avoid long flights for the first few days after surgery. Before organising your return trip, always get your doctor's approval. Compression stockings are frequently advised.

Are older patients safe to undergo transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)?

Yes, TURP is regarded as safe for older patients, particularly when done under spinal anesthesia—preoperative evaluations aid in assessing renal and cardiac risks. Numerous Turkish hospitals specialise in geriatric care. For better results, close monitoring is offered after surgery.

Can I consult the urologist before I arrive in Turkey?

Yes, most hospitals offer teleconsultation services. You can talk about the appropriateness of TURP in advance and share your reports. These discussions foster trust and confidence. Throughout every interaction, English language support is offered.

When I return home, what type of post-surgery care will I need?

Light exercise, bladder care, medication, and hydration are all part of the follow-up. Your Turkish physician might suggest a remote consultation. Medigence offers a teleconsultation service through its platform.

Are TURP outcomes in Turkey similar to those in other countries?

Yes, Turkey has a high TURP success rate thanks to its highly qualified surgeons and state-of-the-art equipment. Many centres adhere to the guidelines set forth by the European Association of Urology. Because of targeted expertise and individualised care, results are on par with or even better than those in other countries.

After TURP surgery, what should I avoid?

For at least four to six weeks, refrain from sexual activity, heavy lifting, and physically demanding activities. Spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol can all irritate the bladder. Drink plenty of water and take your prescription drugs as directed. As instructed, gradually resume your regular activities.
