TURP

But experts say that the most common and appropriate treatment is a transurethral resection of the prostate, or TURP.

Recovery was faster than with traditional surgery called transurethral resection, or TURP.

The standard care currently is to cut away the tissue using a thin, hot loop of wire during a procedure known as TURP.

“We cannot beat TURP” when efficacy alone is considered, says Jens Sønksen, a professor of urology at the University of Copenhagen and principal investigator on the study.

Unlike TURP, it can be done as a day treatment, meaning the patient does not have to stay in hospital overnight.
