PROSTATE SURGERY
Find the Right Treatment for You
The male prostate gland sits at the base of the bladder and increases in size as we get older, this causes a variety of problems with bladder outflow. Thankfully modern surgical approaches can fix your plumbing.
Trans-Urethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
TURP is a surgery used to treat an enlarged prostate, a common condition in older men that can make urination difficult.
During the procedure, a doctor inserts a special tool through the urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) to reach the prostate. The tool is used to remove small pieces of prostate tissue, creating more space for urine to flow.
Transurethral resection of the prostate is less invasive than open surgery, with a shorter recovery time.
Open Prostatectomy
Open prostatectomy is a more traditional surgery for treating very large prostates or severe symptoms.
In this procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen to reach the prostate and remove the enlarged portion.
It’s more extensive than TURP surgery and involves a longer recovery period, but it may be necessary for larger prostates or more complex cases.
