TURP surgery usually takes 45 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the prostate and the complexity of the procedure.
Most patients remain hospitalized for 1 to 3 days, depending on catheter removal and recovery.
Spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia may be used depending on the patient's medical condition and surgeon's recommendation.

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is one of the most established and effective surgical procedures for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate. The procedure removes excess prostate tissue blocking the urethra using a specialized endoscopic instrument inserted through the natural urinary passage, eliminating the need for external incisions. TURP has been performed successfully for decades and remains one of the most commonly recommended treatments for men with moderate to severe urinary symptoms caused by prostate enlargement.
India has become one of the world's preferred destinations for TURP surgery, offering internationally accredited hospitals, experienced urologists, advanced endourology units, and affordable healthcare. Every year, thousands of international patients choose India because of its excellent clinical outcomes, modern surgical facilities, shorter waiting times, and treatment costs that are significantly lower than those in many developed countries.
Recent advancements in TURP surgery have improved patient safety and recovery. Leading hospitals in India now utilize Bipolar TURP Technology, Plasma Kinetic Resection Systems, High-Definition Endoscopic Imaging, Digital Cystoscopy, AI-assisted Surgical Planning, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, Advanced Hemostasis Technology, and Continuous Saline Irrigation Systems. These innovations reduce bleeding, lower the risk of complications, shorten hospital stays, and provide faster recovery.
Whether you have persistent urinary symptoms, urinary retention, recurrent urinary tract infections, bladder stones, or enlarged prostate not responding to medication, India offers advanced TURP surgery with international standards of quality, safety, and patient-centered care.
Patients who may require TURP surgery often experience:
Patients with persistent urinary symptoms should seek evaluation from a urologist.
Several factors increase the likelihood of requiring TURP surgery, including:
Before TURP surgery, patients undergo a detailed urological assessment to determine prostate size, urinary obstruction, and overall health.
Diagnostic tests may include:
International patients can share their medical reports online for an expert opinion before travelling to India.
TURP surgery is performed by experienced urologists using advanced endoscopic equipment through the natural urinary passage.
The urologist evaluates the patient's urinary symptoms, prostate size, bladder function, and overall medical condition to confirm suitability for TURP.
A specialized resectoscope is inserted through the urethra. Using an electrical loop, the surgeon carefully removes excess prostate tissue blocking the urinary passage without making any external incision.
Modern Bipolar TURP uses saline irrigation and bipolar energy to improve surgical safety, reduce bleeding, and minimize the risk of TUR syndrome compared with conventional monopolar TURP.
Advanced bipolar energy systems simultaneously remove tissue and seal blood vessels, helping reduce blood loss during surgery.
A urinary catheter is temporarily placed to allow bladder drainage and irrigation. It is usually removed within 24 to 72 hours, depending on recovery.
The removed prostate tissue is sent for laboratory analysis to rule out any unexpected abnormalities.
The traditional TURP technique that has been successfully performed for many years for treating symptomatic enlarged prostate.
A newer and more advanced technique using bipolar energy and saline irrigation, providing improved safety, reduced bleeding, and faster recovery.
An advanced bipolar technology that allows precise tissue removal while minimizing thermal injury to surrounding tissues.
Most patients notice significant improvement in urinary flow within the first few weeks after surgery.
Post-operative care includes:
TURP provides long-lasting relief from urinary obstruction caused by an enlarged prostate. Most patients experience stronger urine flow, improved bladder emptying, reduced nighttime urination, and better overall quality of life after recovery.
With modern Bipolar TURP technology, recovery is quicker and complications are lower than with older techniques. Most patients return to office work and light activities within one to two weeks, while strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided until approved by the treating urologist.

Yes. TURP surgery in India is significantly more affordable than in many developed countries while maintaining international standards of urological care.
Both procedures effectively treat enlarged prostate. TURP removes obstructing prostate tissue using electrical energy, while HoLEP uses a Holmium laser. The most suitable procedure depends on prostate size, patient health, and the surgeon's assessment.
Recent advancements include Bipolar TURP, Plasma Kinetic TURP, AI-assisted surgical planning, high-definition endoscopic imaging, advanced hemostasis systems, and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols.
TURP is highly effective for small to moderately enlarged prostates. For very large prostates, HoLEP or robotic simple prostatectomy may provide better outcomes.
Yes. International patients receive complete assistance with online consultations, medical visas, accommodation, airport transfers, interpreter services, and follow-up care.
Most patients resume light daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks, while complete recovery generally takes 4 to 6 weeks.
