Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) — the gold-standard surgical treatment for enlarged prostate (BPH). Experienced urologists at Unittas Hospital Chennai.
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a well-established surgical treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — enlarged prostate. It removes excess prostate tissue blocking the urethra, improving urine flow without external incisions. Performed through the urethra using a resectoscope, TURP is considered the gold standard for moderate to severe BPH symptoms when medications are insufficient.
