This is a deft description as TURP clears up the blockage very much like a “roto-rooter”. The TURP “roto-rooter” prostate procedure is an effective treatment for urinary retention<\/a><\/strong> and enlarged prostate symptoms<\/a><\/strong>. There are many other variations of the “roto-rooter” procedure, including bipolar TURP<\/a><\/strong>, Greenlight Laser<\/a><\/strong>, HOLEP prostate enucleation<\/a><\/strong>, and Rezum therapy for enlarged prostate<\/a><\/strong>. All these prostate procedures work by clearing and opening the blocked urethra; in other words, they do what a ‘roto-rooter’ does to pipes.<\/em><\/p>\n The entire procedure is performed through the urethral canal. <\/strong> TURP is performed under general or spinal anesthesia. The procedure takes 1-2 hours. Depending on the patient’s underlying characteristics (size of the prostate, age, medical problems), the patient may go home the same day or might need to stay in the hospital, usually 1-3 days after the procedure.<\/p>\n TURP procedure is performed by urologists. Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger<\/a> is an experienced urologist who has performed many successful TURP procedures for men with urinary problems, including urinary retention.<\/strong><\/p>\n At New York Urology Specialists, we offer specialized treatment for enlarged prostate<\/strong> for men.

We offer free insurance verification<\/strong>.<\/p>\n TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)<\/strong> is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for the treatment of enlarged prostate<\/a><\/strong> in men. TURP is also often referred to as the Roto-Rooter procedure for BPH. TURP can also be used to treat urinary retention from prostate cancer<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n TURP, or, bipolar TURP <\/a><\/strong>which is a newer refinement of the TURP procedure, is considered to be the gold standard against which other treatments for an enlarged prostate<\/a><\/strong> are judged against. It is considered to be a very effective treatment for enlarged prostate<\/strong> for most men. However, for men with a very large prostate, prostate enucleation<\/a><\/strong> is considered to be more effective.<\/p>\n The TURP “roto-rooter’ procedure is an effective treatment for symptoms of an enlarged prostate such as an urge to urinate<\/a><\/strong>, slow and intermittent urine flow<\/a>, the sensation of incomplete bladder emptying<\/a><\/strong>, and waking up at night to urinate often<\/a><\/strong>. TURP is also an effective treatment for men with urinary retention caused by an enlarged prostate<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n A catheter is typically removed anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks after the TURP procedure<\/strong>. The exact timing depends on the extent of the TURP procedure, size of the prostate, anatomy, and whether or not there is a history of urinary retention, bleeding, or high postvoid residual preoperatively.<\/p>\n Most men have uneventful recovery after TURP. Usually, the patient will have a catheter in their bladder at the end of the TURP procedure. Many men with office jobs may be able to go back to work within 2-3 days after the procedure. The catheter is usually removed anywhere from 2 to 10 days after the procedure.<\/strong><\/p>\n We advise avoiding strenuous activity for 2-3 weeks after the procedure. Activity such as biking should be avoided for 4-6 weeks after the procedure to allow for complete healing.<\/p>\n After catheter removal, men may experience frequent urination and a burning sensation in the urethra for 2-3 days. Medications such as Pyridium and Uribel are helpful during this time period. It should be noted that Pyridium can stain urine with orange color-there is no need to worry. Uribel can stain urine blue; again, no need to worry about blue urine.<\/p>\n Did you know?<\/strong><\/span> Dr. Shteynshlyuger<\/a><\/strong> has performed over 1,000 surgeries and procedures for enlarged prostate,<\/strong> including Rezum, Urolift, prostate enucleation, laser ablation of the prostate, and TURP.

TURP<\/strong> stands for t<\/strong>ransu<\/strong>rethral r<\/strong>esection of the p<\/strong>rostate. TURP is a surgical procedure performed by passing a special small instrument called “resectoscope<\/strong>” through the urethral opening towards the prostate and into the bladder. There is no cutting on the skin involved with the TURP procedure. TURP procedure is designed to partially remove the part of the prostate that blocks the urinary flow.<\/strong><\/p>\nWho Performs the TURP Procedure?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
