TURP
Transurethral resection of the prostate — a proven endoscopic option.
TURP is an endoscopic operation in which obstructing prostate tissue is trimmed away from inside the urethra using a fine electrical loop. It has been used for decades and remains a reliable option for small to moderately enlarged prostates.
Dr. Rajesh Soni will explain whether TURP or HoLEP is better suited to your gland size and health.
