Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a common surgical procedure used to treat urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). During the procedure, a doctor removes excess prostate tissue through the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine out of the body. This helps to relieve symptoms like difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and a weak urine stream. The surgery is typically performed using a special instrument called a resectoscope, which allows the surgeon to see and remove the tissue without making any external incisions. TURP is usually done under local or general anesthesia, and most patients can go home the same day or after a short hospital stay. Recovery times vary
