View ProfileBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlargement of the prostate gland, can cause bothersome urinary symptoms. If medications or lifestyle modifications haven't provided relief, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) might be a suitable surgical option. Here at Meerut Urologist, our team of experienced urologist led by Dr. Shaleen Shamra and Dr. Sarat Chandra Garg performs TURP surgery in Meerut to effectively address BPH symptoms and improve your quality of life.
TURP is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove part of the prostate gland that is blocking the urethra. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. By removing obstructing prostate tissue, TURP helps improve urine flow and alleviate BPH symptoms.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common surgical procedure for relieving urinary blockage caused by an enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH). A resectoscope, a thin instrument with a light, camera, and cutting loop, is inserted through the urethra to remove excess prostate tissue blocking the urinary passage. TURP offers effective relief from BPH symptoms and allows for same-day or short hospital stays.

Our team of urologist led by Dr. Shaleen Shamra and Dr. Sarat Chandra Garg is highly skilled and experienced in performing TURP surgery. The TURP procedure typically involves these steps:
Anesthesia: You will likely receive general or spinal anesthesia to keep you pain-free during the surgery.
Resection: A thin, lighted instrument called a resectoscope is inserted through the urethra into the prostate. An electric current is used to cut away a section of the enlarged prostate tissue blocking the urethra.
Irrigation: The removed tissue is flushed out with a sterile fluid.
Catheter placement: A thin tube (catheter) may be placed in your bladder for a short time after surgery to drain urine.
Following TURP surgery, you will typically stay in the hospital for a day or two. Recovery time varies but usually takes several weeks. You might experience some temporary burning or discomfort during urination, which can be managed with medication.
Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
