TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate) for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

TURP is a well-established endoscopic procedure used to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — commonly known as an enlarged prostate. In TURP, the blockage caused by prostate tissue is removed through the natural urine passage, helping restore strong urine flow and reducing urinary symptoms without any external cut.

Scarless surgery (no incision)

TURP Surgery for Enlarged Prostate

When is TURP Needed?

TURP is recommended when enlarged prostate causes significant urinary blockage, recurrent infections, urine retention, or when medicines do not provide enough relief.

Frequent Urination

Increased frequency and urgency, especially at night (nocturia).

Weak Urine Stream

Slow flow, straining to pass urine, or interrupted stream.

Urine Retention

Difficulty emptying bladder fully or sudden complete blockage.

Recurrent Infection

Repeated UTIs due to incomplete urine emptying.


How TURP Procedure is Performed

TURP is performed under anesthesia. A special endoscope is inserted through the urine passage to reach the prostate. Excess prostate tissue causing blockage is removed carefully to improve urine flow.

Step 01

Endoscope Entry

A TURP scope is passed through the natural urinary passage without any cut.

Step 02

Prostate Assessment

Enlarged prostate tissue causing blockage is identified precisely.

Step 03

Tissue Removal

Excess prostate tissue is removed safely to clear the urine passage.

Step 04

Urine Flow Restored

A catheter may be placed temporarily and urine flow improves after recovery.
