What kind of surgery is turp?

TURP is a transurethral resection of the prostate, which is used to remove prostate adenomas or glands that cause urinary tract obstruction, and is indicated for prostatic hyperplasia. Procedure: After preoperative and anesthetic preparation, the patient is placed in the lithotomy position. After transurethral cystoscopy and selection of an appropriate scope, the prostate tissue is removed using the scope, and a balloon catheter is inserted after testing the urine flow and stopping bleeding. Urethrocentesis is recognized as the gold standard in the treatment of prostate disease. Precautions: The catheter is usually left in place for about 1 week, and you will need to drink water and urinate more often after the procedure. Leakage of urine, etc. will occur after the catheter is removed, which is normal.
