Surgery for Prostate

Trans-Urethral-Resection-of-the-Prostate-TURP

TURP is the standard surgery performed on patients with benign prostate hyperplasia. It's the removal of a part of the prostate gland via surgery.

BPH is an enlargement of the prostate. BPH is a procedure known as TURP. A common condition among seniors, BPH occurs when the prostate grows uncontrollably and can block urine flow from the bladder. Located in the pelvis, the prostate is located close to the urethra, or passageway to the bladder, and above.

An endoscope is inserted into the scrotum, and a section of one’s prostate gland is removed, getting rid of the urethra’s compression. Comparing this to making an incision and removing the interior of the orange while leaving the orange’s skin intact, the operation can take from half an hour to two hours.

A ureteral catheter is placed after urologic surgery to collect urine from the bladder. Urine is collected this way for a few days to more efficiently facilitate myomectomy healing without agitating the incision. In some instances, your bladder is irrigated using the ureteral catheter to keep it clean.

Following TURP, you should not have difficulty engaging in typical daily activities for three to four weeks after the procedure.
A number of patients notice a pinkish tinge to their urine after the procedure. See your doctor if the blood appears excessive; you may also be able to experience a burning sensation when urinating for a few days.
After the body has absorbed a 2-liter dose of water in a day or so, urine may contain a bit of blood afterward. Should this occur, stay hydrated in close proximity to bed, but do not drink more than two liters of water in a day. Try not to drink before sleeping or you might be awakened by a completely full bladder.
The current schedule have been using called monopolar TURB, if we why not to use bipolar TURB, because of the advantages of these that we have used isotonic saline and commitment to lesser odds of electrolytes interruption like TUR syndrome.

It may sometimes be diagnosed by observing a combination of symptoms such as these:
A computer-based biopsy can detect digital rectal melanoma.
Ultrasound diagnostic imaging technology can be used to measure post-void residual urine, the prostate, bladder wall thickness and the kidney size (chronic kidney disease).

Spinal and general anesthesia are often used to perform TURP; the most common used form is injection, inhalation, or a combination of the two. Hospital visits following TURP may be between two and four days, due to the influence of other medical conditions.

In some cases, TURP is accompanied by complications, such as urinary tract infection in 4, bleeding requiring transfusion in 1, urethral stricture in 7, bladder neck contractures in 4, retrograde ejaculation in 16-95, and urinary incontinence 1-2 which will usually resolve within 3-6 months.
