What is plasma resection of the prostate

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure that removes the diseased prostate gland using a plasma cutting ring to treat prostate diseases. TURP is

generally used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, bladder tumors, early prostate cancer and other diseases. Compared with traditional open surgery, TURP has the advantages of less bleeding, less trauma, faster postoperative recovery, better treatment effect, and better patient tolerance. However, there may be risks of bleeding and infection after surgery.

Patients with prostate diseases need to be evaluated by a professional doctor before deciding whether to choose TURP for treatment.
