Surgical Treatment of Porstate

Traditionally involved in removing a portion of the prostate to relieve the obstruction. These procedures have been very successful and have a long track record of safety and eficiency.

TURP or TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION of the prostate is considered the gold standard in surgical treatment for benign enlargement of the prostate. TURP involves removal of a portion of the prostate through an instrument placed into the penis. Electrical energy is used to resect the obstructing tissue.

Complications include bleeding, backwards ejaculation in which the ejaculate goes into the bladder and is "excreted" in the next urination. Urinary incontinence and loss of erections are very rare.

TUIP or TRANSURETHRAL INCISION of the prostate is similar to TURP, but involves only incisions into prostate, rather than resection of tissue. Prostate size is extremely important in making determination of procedure.

SUPRAPUBIC or RETROPUBIC
PROSTATECTOMY is an abdominal operation reserved for those men with very large prostates, needing surgical therapy.

Since the prostate is still present after any of these procedures, patients must remember that they can still get prostate cancer.
