BENIGN PROSTATE HYPERPLASIA

TURP – Transurethral Prostate Resection
(Monopolar / Bipolar / Plasma kinetic)
It is the most widely preferred and applied endourological prostate surgery method in the world.

It can be performed using Monopolar / Bipolar / Plasma kinetic energy sources. The energy sources used have their own advantages / disadvantages, and the most important thing here is the equipment and experience of the Urologist who will perform the operation.

The main purpose is to remove the inner part of the prostate with the scraping method and create a urinary channel that will provide comfortable urine flow. As the prostate is removed in the form of chips, pathological examination is possible. The operation takes approximately 1-1.5 hours.

Most of the patients benefit from surgery. Patients are followed up with a urinary catheter for 1-2 days after surgery.

It is important that patients consume 2-3 litres of water per day, especially in the first weeks, in order to prevent possible bleeding and infections.
