Transurethral Resection of Prostate

Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) has been the "gold standard" for surgical removal of the enlarged prostatic adenoma for many decades, and is likely to remain so despite the advent of multiple minimally invasive alternative procedures. TURP has stood the test of time, whereas the alternatives have come and gone in succession, as we have witnessed over the years. The accompanying video demonstrates the complete steps of TURP in a case of prostatic adenoma, highlighting the important nuances of the principles and the technique of resection.
