TURP (Monopolar/Bipolar) Surgery in Patna
Advanced TURP surgery for enlarged prostate (BPH) using monopolar and bipolar technology to relieve urinary symptoms, improve urine flow, and support faster recovery.
What is TURP (Monopolar/Bipolar)?
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a commonly performed surgical procedure for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. As the prostate enlarges, it can obstruct the flow of urine, causing symptoms such as difficulty urinating, weak urine stream, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying.
During TURP, the enlarged prostate tissue is removed through the urethra using a specialized endoscopic instrument without making any external incision. Depending on the patient’s condition, either monopolar or bipolar technology may be used to safely remove the obstructing tissue and restore normal urinary flow.

TURP may be recommended if you have:
- Enlarged prostate (BPH)

TURP Procedure
- Step 1: Medical Evaluation : A thorough assessment, including physical examination, urine tests, blood tests, ultrasound, and other investigations, is performed to determine if TURP is the right treatment.
- Step 2: Treatment Planning : The most suitable approach—monopolar or bipolar TURP—is selected based on the patient’s condition and prostate size.
- Step 3: Endoscopic Surgery : A resectoscope is inserted through the urethra, and the enlarged prostate tissue is carefully removed to relieve the blockage and improve urine flow.
- Step 4: Recovery & Monitoring : After surgery, a urinary catheter is temporarily placed to aid healing and monitor urine drainage.
- Step 5: Follow-up Care : Regular follow-up appointments help ensure proper healing, improved urinary function, and long-term treatment success.
Recovery After TURP
Most patients remain in the hospital for one to two days after the procedure. Mild burning during urination, temporary blood in the urine, or increased urinary frequency may occur initially and generally improve as healing progresses.
Patients are advised to drink plenty of fluids, avoid heavy lifting for a few weeks, take prescribed medications, and attend follow-up visits to support a smooth recovery.
