What Is TURP Prostate Surgery?

TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is the gold standard surgical treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). It involves inserting a resectoscope through the urethra to remove excess prostate tissue blocking urine flow. No external incision is needed. TURP effectively relieves urinary symptoms in over 85% of patients.

Factors That Affect TURP Surgery Cost

1. Prostate Size

Small prostates (under 40g) are quicker procedures. Large prostates (over 80g) may be better served by HoLEP. TURP is ideal for 30–80g prostates.

2. Monopolar vs Bipolar

Bipolar TURP costs 20–30% more but is safer for large prostates (reduced TUR syndrome and hyponatraemia risk).

3. Catheter Duration

Urinary catheter stays 2–3 days post-TURP. Extended catheterisation increases hospital stay and cost.

Insurance Coverage

TURP is usually covered by health insurance as a medically necessary procedure for symptomatic BPH. CGHS and ESI also offer coverage. Cashless treatment is available. At Unittas Hospital, our team assists with cashless pre-authorisation and TPA coordination.

EMI Payment Options

Unittas Hospital offers flexible EMI with 0% interest for select tenures over 3 to 24 months, with quick processing and minimal documentation.

Recovery Timeline

Post-TURP: Catheter for 2–3 days. Blood-tinged urine for 1–2 weeks (normal). Avoid straining and heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks. Return to desk work in 2 weeks. Significant urinary improvement within 1–2 weeks.
