TUR-P

This procedure is applied to patients who have difficulty urinating due to benign or malignant prostate enlargement. General or spinal anesthesia is used. A metal tube about the thickness of a pencil is passed through the penis into the urethra. This tube is about 30 cm long and allows the passage of an instrument (resectoscope) with valves to control the flow of fluids, a light source and an optical system to see the tissues, cut them with electric current and burn the blood vessels. The obstructive part of the prostate causing blockage around the urethra is cut out with a power tool.
