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.

Small prostates (under 40g) are quicker procedures. Large prostates (over 80g) may be better served by HoLEP. TURP is ideal for 30–80g prostates.
Bipolar TURP costs 20–30% more but is safer for large prostates (reduced TUR syndrome and hyponatraemia risk).
Urinary catheter stays 2–3 days post-TURP. Extended catheterisation increases hospital stay and cost.
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.
Unittas Hospital offers flexible EMI with 0% interest for select tenures over 3 to 24 months, with quick processing and minimal documentation.
