What is Laser TURP Surgery?

Laser TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate using laser technology) is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve urinary problems caused by Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or in simpler terms, an enlarged prostate.

During the procedure, a special device called a resectoscope is gently inserted through the urethra. A high-precision laser is then used to carefully remove or shrink the overgrown prostate tissue, improving urine flow without the need for any external incisions.

Unlike traditional TURP, Laser TURP offers quicker recovery, minimal bleeding, and is especially beneficial for patients on blood thinners or those with bleeding disorders.

Why Men Choose Laser TURP

Faster Recovery: Patients typically recover more quickly than with traditional surgery.
Minimal Blood Loss: Especially important for those with clotting issues
Short Hospital Stay:Most patients are discharged within 1–2 days.
Reduced Risk of Infection:Less invasive = fewer complications.
Long-lasting Relief:Improves urinary function and overall quality of life.

What Causes Prostate Enlargement?

BPH typically affects men as they grow older. While aging is the primary factor, genetics, obesity, lack of physical activity, and hormonal changes also contribute. Symptoms often include:

Frequent urge to urinate (especially at night)
Weak urine stream
Difficulty starting or stopping urination
Feeling like the bladder isn't empty

Left untreated, BPH can interfere with daily life and may even lead to kidney problems.

How the Procedure Works

1. Before Surgery

You’ll first meet with Dr. K. S. Shiva Kumar for a detailed consultation. He’ll review your symptoms, medical history, and conduct necessary tests like blood work, ultrasound, and urine flow studies. Some medications may need to be stopped a few days before surgery.

2. During Surgery

The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes. You’ll be given spinal or general anesthesia to keep you comfortable. The laser is introduced through a tube inserted via the urethra and used to vaporize or cut away the enlarged tissue.

3. Post-Surgery Care

You’ll be monitored for 1–3 days in the hospital. A catheter may be placed temporarily to help you urinate. Mild burning or frequent urination is normal for a few days, but most patients return to normal activities within a week.
