Essential Facts About Chronic Kidney Disease
As the name itself suggests, Laser TURP surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men, also known as an enlarged prostate. This is the most sought-after surgical procedure when it comes to treating bladder outlet obstruction. A TURP surgeon performs this surgery using a resectoscope which does the job and leaves no visible scars or cuts after the surgery.
During Laser TURP, a laser is passed through the tube and is used to resect or vaporize the abnormally grown portions of the prostate. This not only alleviates urinary symptoms but also improves urine flow. This surgery is preferred over the traditional one due to numerous reasons. Some of these are:
This condition usually affects older men. Age is one of the main causes of benign prostatic hyperplasia apart from other factors such as a family history of prostate issues, and lifestyle factors such as obesity and inactivity. It is believed that hormonal changes due to aging may cause abnormal growth of the prostate gland. Thus, resulting in problems such as frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, and weak urine flow.
Therefore, these problems should not be ignored and must be detected early for effective management through regular checkups.

During the consultation, the doctor will take the complete details of symptoms, medication, and any underlying health issues. In certain cases, the patient might be advised to avoid certain medications. Additionally, patients will also be advised to fast from the night before the surgery.
Now, during the Laser TURP procedure, the patient will be given either general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia to ensure comfort. The doctors will then insert a thin and flexible metal tube containing a light, camera, and laser source known as a resectoscope through the urethra into the prostate gland.
A laser will be passed through the tube and a section of the enlarged gland will be cut or removed and this laser beam will either shrink or remove the excess tissue. This procedure usually takes around 30 to 60 min. This procedure has a success rate of approximately more than 85%.
