Many men suffer from moderate to severe urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate. If this condition does not respond to medical therapy and/or other minimally invasive procedures are not appropriate to treat the enlargement, surgery may be needed to reduce the size of the prostate and alleviate the symptoms. One of the best options is the transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
An instrument combining surgical and visual tools called a resectoscope is inserted into the urethra through the penis, up into the bladder. The surgeon then trims away the excess prostate tissue that is impeding the normal flow of urine.
