What Is Endoscopic Prostate Surgery?
Endoscopic prostate surgery uses specialized instruments and a small camera introduced through the urinary passage to treat selected prostate-related urinary obstruction without a large external surgical incision.
One commonly performed endoscopic procedure is TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate), which removes obstructive prostate tissue in selected patients with benign prostate enlargement.
The appropriate treatment depends on prostate size, symptoms, urinary flow, bladder function, medical history, previous treatment and the overall clinical assessment.
