What is TURP?

The prostate is a gland below the bladder that surrounds the urine passage (urethra). With age, it often grows larger. This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and is not cancer. An enlarged prostate can squeeze the urethra and make passing urine difficult.

In TURP, a thin telescope (resectoscope) is passed through the urethra. The surgeon removes the part of the prostate that is blocking the flow of urine, from the inside. No incision is made on the skin.

Who Needs Prostate Surgery?

TURP is usually considered for men with an enlarged prostate who have:

  • A weak or slow urine stream, or straining to pass urine

  • Passing urine often, especially at night

  • A sudden, strong urge to pass urine

  • A feeling that the bladder has not emptied fully

  • Symptoms that continue despite prostate medicines, or side effects from them

  • Repeated urine infections, bladder stones, blood in urine from the prostate, or episodes of being unable to pass urine (retention)

Not every enlarged prostate needs surgery. Many men do well with medicines and lifestyle changes. The urologist advises after examination and tests.

When to Seek Urgent Help

Being completely unable to pass urine, with a painful, full bladder, or fever with urinary symptoms, needs urgent care.

Safety: THE CLINICS has no emergency department. In an emergency go to the nearest hospital or call 112.

Tests Before Prostate Surgery

  • Examination by the urologist, and a symptom score

  • Ultrasound of the kidneys, bladder and prostate, with a check of urine left in the bladder after passing urine

  • Urine tests and blood tests, including PSA, which helps the urologist decide whether more tests for prostate cancer are needed

  • An anaesthesia check

How TURP is Done

TURP is done at THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas, by THE CLINICS urology team.

  • You are given spinal or general anaesthesia, chosen by the anaesthetist with your preference and needs in mind.

  • A resectoscope is passed through the urethra. No external incision is made.

  • The blocking prostate tissue is removed from the inside in small pieces, and bleeding points are sealed.

  • The removed tissue is sent to the laboratory for examination.

  • A urinary catheter is placed, and the bladder may be rinsed with fluid for a short time.

HoLEP: holmium laser enucleation of the prostate

HoLEP is also offered at THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas. It is done through the urine passage with no external incision; a holmium laser is used to separate the enlarged part of the prostate from the inside, and the tissue is then removed. The urologist advises whether TURP or HoLEP suits you, based on the size of your prostate and your health.

Anaesthesia, Hospital Stay and Recovery

  • Anaesthesia: spinal or general, chosen by the anaesthetist with your preference and needs in mind

  • Hospital stay: usually one night

  • Catheter: you go home with the urinary catheter in place, and it is usually removed at a follow-up visit about 5–7 days after surgery

  • Work and lifting: your urologist will advise when to return to work, lifting and exercise

Some burning, frequency and a little blood in the urine are common for a few weeks while the area heals. Drinking enough water helps. The urologist explains possible effects, such as changes in ejaculation, before you decide.

Cost and Insurance

Cost is an estimate after examination. Insurance and TPA support where the policy covers it. The estimate depends on the size of the prostate, the tests needed and the length of stay. Our billing team helps with the paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an enlarged prostate always need surgery?

No. Many men with an enlarged prostate are treated with medicines and lifestyle changes. Surgery such as TURP is considered when symptoms continue despite medicines, or when there are problems such as urine retention, repeated infections or bladder stones. THE CLINICS urologist advises after examination and tests.

Is there any cut on the skin in TURP?

No. TURP is done through the urine passage with a thin telescope, so there is no external incision. The blocking prostate tissue is removed from the inside.

How long is the hospital stay after TURP?

The stay is usually one night. You go home with a urinary catheter, which is usually removed at a follow-up visit about 5–7 days after surgery. You get your expected stay and recovery plan in writing before surgery.

Is laser prostate surgery available at THE CLINICS?

Yes. Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is offered at THE CLINICS MISC, Hauz Khas, alongside TURP. The urologist advises which suits you, based on the size of your prostate and your health.

Will TURP affect my sexual function?

Erections are usually not affected, but many men notice that semen goes back into the bladder instead of coming out during ejaculation (retrograde ejaculation). This is not harmful. The urologist explains the possible effects for your case before you decide.
