Closed prostate surgery (transurethral prostate resection) is the most frequently performed surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and is accepted as the gold standard treatment method in many scientific environments. It can be used safely in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia that does not exceed 80 grams. In this method, after the patient is given general or spinal anesthesia, the urinary tract is entered with a special tool and the prostate tissues are cut using plasmakinetic energy. The prostate tissue is cut into strips and the prostate tissues accumulated in the urinary bladder are then removed with a vacuum system. After the surgery, a catheter is placed in the urinary tract and kept for an average of 2-3 days.
The most important advantage of closed prostate surgery is that the part of the prostate that blocks the urinary tract is removed in a short time, creating a space, and pathological examination of the removed tissues can be performed.
Many patients can stand up within 6-8 hours with water and food intake, and can return to normal life the day after the operation. Discharge is possible after the catheter is removed on the 3rd day of the surgery.
