Transurethral Resection of the Prostate entails inserting a surgical instrument into the urethra to remove a section of the prostate that is obstructing the patient’s urine flow. If symptoms of an enlarged prostate do not respond to home treatment or medications, urologists frequently consider TURP. This is presently the most common operation performed by urologists to remove a portion of an enlarged prostate. As a result, this is frequently performed under general or spinal anesthesia.
