Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure that offers effective relief for symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as enlarged prostate. In Los Angeles, Dr. Ali Afshar, a distinguished Urologic Oncology Surgeon, utilizes TURP to improve urinary flow, alleviate discomfort, and enhance the quality of life for men suffering from BPH.
TURP: A Gold Standard for BPH Treatment
TURP remains one of the most effective treatments for BPH, especially in cases where medication has not provided sufficient relief. The procedure involves the removal of prostate tissue that is blocking urine flow through the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body.
Advantages of TURP
Proven Efficacy
TURP has a long track record of successfully alleviating BPH symptoms and improving urinary flow.
Immediate Symptom Relief
Many patients experience significant improvement in symptoms and urinary flow rate shortly after the procedure.
Reduced Need for Medication
TURP can reduce or eliminate the need for BPH medications.
Durability
Results from TURP can last for many years, providing long-term relief from BPH symptoms.
The TURP Procedure with Dr. Ali Afshar
Performed under general or spinal anesthesia, TURP requires no external incisions. Dr. Afshar inserts a resectoscope (a thin, flexible instrument with a light, camera, and loop for cutting tissue) into the urethra to remove the enlarged prostate tissue. This minimally invasive approach allows for precise removal of obstructing tissue, improving urinary flow while preserving the integrity of the urethra and surrounding structures.
