This type of surgery is called a TUR or TURP, which stands for trans urethral resection of the prostate. The operation does not cure the cancer. But it can relieve symptoms caused by the cancer pressing on your urethra.This operation is also often used for men who have a non cancerous (benign) swelling of the prostate gland called benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).our doctor may suggest an operation to take away some of the cancer so that you can pass urine more easily again. This operation is called a trans urethral resection of the prostate gland (TURP). It does not cure your cancer. But it can relieve symptoms.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is still regarded as the gold standard surgical treatment for BPH. No other treatment yet has been shown to result in such good results in terms of improved symptoms and flow.TURP does require a short period of hospitalisation and a light anaesthetic.A catheter (a tube which drains the bladder) is also needed for 1-2 days until the urine clears. Patients are advised to take life quietly and to avoid straining or heavy lifting for 10 days or so after the surgery.t is normal to have blood in the urine after this operation, so it is advisable to drink plenty of water for a few days while it clears. Clots are sometimes passed 10-14 days afterwards; again, this is part of the healing process.
