Overview of Transurethral Procedures

TransUrethral (TUR) Surgery is an advanced surgical approach used for both Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and bladder tumor removal. The procedure requires no external skin incisions, inserting specialized instruments directly through the urethra to alleviate severe urinary obstruction.

At Khosla Kidney Stone & Surgical Centre, Dr. Rajesh Khosla personalizes each treatment plan based on the severity of symptoms, prostate size, and overall health to deliver optimal recovery outcomes.

TURP Surgery for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)

Symptoms Relieved by TURP

An enlarged prostate compresses the urethra, blocking urine flow and causing notable distress:

  • Weak or hesitant urine stream
  • Difficulty starting urination
  • Frequent night urination (nocturia)
  • Sudden, urgent need to urinate
  • Straining or dribbling post-urination

Procedure & Recovery Guidelines

Under general or local anesthesia, a resectoscope is passed through the urethra to trim away obstructing prostate tissue without external cuts.

Procedure Time

60-90 Mins

Hospital Stay

~1 Day

TURP Post-Op Recovery Rules

  • Hydration: Drink 10 to 12 glasses of water daily to keep the bladder flushed.
  • High-Fiber Diet: Consume fiber-rich foods to prevent constipation and straining.
  • Medication Safety: Avoid blood-thinning drugs until explicitly cleared by your surgeon.
  • Rest Restrictions: Avoid driving or strenuous activity until the urinary catheter is removed. Abstain from sexual activity for 4 to 6 weeks.

Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT)

Diagnosis & Tumor Removal

TURBT is the primary medical approach when bladder tumors are detected via cystoscopy or imaging. It serves a vital double purpose:

  • Diagnosis: Provides tissue samples to determine tumor grade and muscle invasiveness.
  • Treatment: Completely resects early-stage bladder tumors in a single endoscopic pass.

TURBT Postoperative Care

Key observations during recovery at home:

  • Rest adequately as general/local anesthesia wears off completely.
  • Expect mild blood tinting in urine for 3 days; intermittent mild spotting can continue for 10–14 days.
  • Take prescribed painkillers to minimize stinging or burning during urination.
