TUR-P (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is a surgical method that has been successfully applied for many years in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and is considered the gold standard. It provides significant relief especially for men who experience difficulty urinating by removing the prostate tissue that blocks the urinary tract. At Healme Clinic, we perform TUR-P procedures using advanced technology and expertise, offering our patients effective and safe treatment options.
BPH is a condition where the prostate gland enlarges with age, narrowing the urethra and making urination more difficult. It is commonly seen in men over the age of 50 and significantly affects quality of life. Symptoms include frequent urination, waking up at night to urinate, weak urine flow, and difficulty starting urination. If left untreated, BPH can lead to complications such as bladder damage, stone formation, and impaired kidney function.
TUR-P is a procedure that removes enlarged prostate tissue using an endoscopic method—meaning it is performed without external incisions. A special device is inserted through the urethra to cut or vaporize the obstructing prostate tissue, which is then removed from the body. The procedure is performed under general or spinal anesthesia.
At Healme Clinic, TUR-P surgeries are carried out by experienced urology surgeons in our modern operating theaters.
The TUR-P procedure consists of the following main steps:
TUR-P, being a well-established and effective treatment, offers several benefits:
At Healme Clinic, we maximize these benefits through personalized surgical planning and the use of advanced medical devices.
TUR-P is especially recommended in the following cases:
At Healme Clinic, each patient is thoroughly evaluated to determine the most suitable treatment method.
Patients are generally discharged within 1–2 days after surgery. A urinary catheter remains in place for 1–3 days. Temporary symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation, or mild blood in urine may occur during the first weeks. Most patients return to their daily routines within 1–2 weeks.
Healme Clinic closely monitors the postoperative process and provides supportive treatments when necessary.
TUR-P does not directly affect sexual life; however, some patients may experience retrograde ejaculation, where semen enters the bladder instead of exiting the body. While this may cause infertility, it does not reduce sexual pleasure. Erectile function is usually preserved.
At Healme Clinic, patients are thoroughly informed about these aspects and provided support if needed.
Although TUR-P is generally a safe procedure, like any surgery, it may carry some risks:
At Healme Clinic, we minimize these risks by employing meticulous surgical techniques and sterile operating conditions.
TUR-P has been in use for a longer time and is particularly effective for moderately enlarged prostates. HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate), on the other hand, is a modern laser-based technique preferred for larger prostates. HoLEP typically involves less bleeding and a quicker recovery period.
Healme Clinic successfully offers both techniques depending on the patient’s individual needs and treatment goals.
At Healme Clinic, we offer safe, effective, and individualized treatment solutions for male patients seeking relief from prostate-related complaints through the TUR-P method.
