Why transurethral resection of the prostate is done?
Sometimes surgery is needed to remove the part of a prostate cancer that is pressing on the tube that carries urine from your bladder (the urethra). If anything presses on the urethra this can make it difficult for you to empty your bladder properly. Your doctor may suggest an operation to take away some of the cancer so that you can pass urine more easily again. This operation is not done to cure your cancer. But it can relieve symptoms caused by the cancer pressing on your urethra…..
This operation is also often used for men who have a non cancerous (benign) swelling of the prostate gland called benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). In this section of CancerHelp we are just describing its use as a treatment for prostate cancer. This type of surgery is called a TUR or TURP, which stands for ‘transurethral resection of the prostate’……
What is a TURP ?
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a surgical removal of part of the prostate gland. The prostate gland is part of a man’s reproductive system. It makes and stores seminal fluid, a milky fluid that nourishes sperm and forms part of semen. The prostate is about the size of a walnut. It is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum.
How a TURP is done ?
A TURP is carried out by passing a thin tube up the urethra through your penis. The tube has a tiny camera and an eyepiece, so that the surgeon can see inside your urethra. They remove the blockage using an instrument attached to the tube that can cut away the abnormal areas. Afterwards you usually need to stay in hospital for about 2 or 3 nights…..
After a TURP
It’s best if you can start moving around as soon as possible. You’ll probably be up and about within 24 hours. You may have a drip (intravenous infusion) to replace your body fluids. It will be taken out as soon as you are drinking normally again. It is important to drink plenty of fluids.
You may also have a tube (catheter) into your bladder to drain your urine into a collecting bag. After this surgery, it is quite normal to have blood clots forming in your urine. To prevent the blood clots blocking this catheter, fluid is passed into your bladder and drained out through the catheter (bladder irrigation)……

What is a TURP ?
A trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is an operation to remove the parts of your prostate that are pressing on your urethra, to make it easier for you to pass urine. It involves a surgeon inserting a special tube down your urethra, through which a heated wire loop is passed. This wire loop is used to shave off the overgrown areas of your prostate…..
Am I a good candidate for TURP ?
Not everyone who develops an enlarged prostate will need treatment. However, your consultant has recommended a TURP because of your symptoms. A TURP is the most common type of surgery for an enlarged prostate. It will make it easier for you to pass urine and may relieve your other symptoms, although it will not always resolve all of them. If you don’t have treatment, your prostate will continue to grow, which may make your symptoms worse and increases the possibility of problems with your bladder and/or kidneys…..
