Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is one of the most commonly performed endoscopic urological procedures used to improve urinary flow by removing obstructive prostate tissue. The procedure is performed through the natural urinary passage without any external incision and is widely regarded as an effective surgical solution for patients experiencing significant urinary obstruction.
At MITR Urology Associates, we provide advanced TURP surgery in Navi Mumbai using modern endoscopic technology, helping patients achieve better urinary function, improved bladder emptying, and long-term symptom relief.
What is TURP Surgery?
TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure performed through the urethra.
During the procedure, a specialized instrument called a resectoscope is used to remove obstructing prostate tissue and create a wider urinary channel.
Since the surgery is performed through the natural urinary passage:
No external incision is required
No visible scars are created
Recovery is generally faster than traditional surgery

Who May Benefit from TURP Surgery?
TURP may be recommended for patients who:
Have significant urinary obstruction
Experience poor urine flow
Have recurrent urinary retention
Have failed medical management
Require surgical relief of bladder outlet obstruction
Experience complications related to urinary blockage
A detailed urological evaluation helps determine whether TURP is the most appropriate treatment option.
How is TURP Surgery Performed?
1
Preoperative Assessment
Before surgery, patients undergo:
Clinical evaluation
Urine testing
Blood investigations
Imaging studies
Anesthesia assessment
2
Anesthesia
TURP is usually performed under:
Spinal anesthesia
General anesthesia
The choice depends on the patient's health condition and surgical requirements.
3
Endoscopic Procedure
During the procedure:
A resectoscope is passed through the urethra to reach the prostate.
The surgeon carefully removes the obstructing tissue while preserving surrounding structures.
The procedure is performed entirely internally without external cuts.
4
Catheter Placement
A temporary urinary catheter is usually placed after surgery to assist bladder drainage during the initial healing period.
