How Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is performed
An endoscope is inserted into the urethra under anesthesia, and an electrocautery loop or plasma electrode is used to resect or vaporize the hyperplastic tissue layer by layer, while coagulating to stop bleeding and continuously irrigating.
