TURP is suitable for patients diagnosed with BPH who have not found relief through medication or less invasive treatments.
Including urinary retention, recurrent infections, bladder stones, or kidney problems caused by an enlarged prostate.
TURP removes the tissue blocking the urethra directly, rather than managing symptoms with ongoing medication.
Uses a high-powered holmium laser to remove the prostate tissue blocking the urethra, effective across varying prostate sizes with a shorter hospital stay.
A newer, minimally invasive option using steam to treat the extra prostate tissue, often performed under local anaesthesia in around 5 to 10 minutes.
Small implants lift the enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra without cutting, heating or removing tissue - usually a day case under local anaesthesia.
As a major operation, TURP fees depend on your case and hospital. Every cost is set out and agreed with you before you decide anything.
Most patients are seen within a few days for a full assessment with Mr Ghei.
Performed under general anaesthetic - an electrical loop removes the tissue blocking your urethra, usually within an hour.
A short hospital stay, then a gradual return to normal activity as urinary symptoms settle over the following weeks.
Mr Ghei is a consultant urological surgeon with a specialist focus on prostate diagnosis and treatment. He holds a Research MD from University College London and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons.
