Transurethral Resection of the Prostate by the TURP Method in Israel

Benign prostatic hyperplasia remains the most common condition among the male population today, with surgery being the most effective treatment method. However, surgery in Israel and the CIS is two very different things. Israeli doctors understand that treatment should restore health while not disrupting the functionality of this vital gland in the male body. That is why at Top Ichilov, only minimally invasive surgical techniques are used, allowing for the removal of the adenoma while preserving male health.

The most effective method of treatment is recognized as transurethral resection of the prostate, which the clinic's doctors widely use in contrast to traditional surgery. The use of innovations at Top Ichilov is made possible by the high-tech equipment of our medical center.

Procedure for Performing TURP at Top Ichilov

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a benign growth of glandular tissue, not an oncological disease, and is accompanied by specific manifestations. Thus, urination is difficult due to the growth of glandular tissue that obstructs the urethra, frequent urges to urinate occur because a certain portion of urine is not expelled and remains in the bladder, the risk of developing infectious-inflammatory processes in the urogenital system increases, and kidney stones may form.

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in Israel is considered the most effective method for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. The operation is performed without external incisions. Anesthesia is selected individually: either local – spinal anesthesia, or general. Before the operation, the patient is prescribed anticoagulant medications to prevent thrombosis.

At the beginning of the procedure, the surgeon inserts a resectoscope into the patient's urethra – a device equipped with a loop with electrodes for cauterizing blood vessels to avoid bleeding. Using the loop, the surgeon captures and removes the adenoma. The operation continues until the doctor reaches normal glandular tissue. The resectoscope is equipped with a channel system, through one of which a solution is continuously supplied to wash away the removed adenoma tissue, while the other allows for drainage.

The operation lasts from 1 to 1.5 hours. Hospital stay takes 1-2 days. The presence of blood in the urine in the first few days after the operation is considered normal, as is pain during urination.

Two weeks after the operation, the patient can return to sedentary work, and after 1.5 months – to physical activities. After 2 months, the man can resume sexual activity.

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in Israel involves mandatory diagnostics of the disease, namely:

  • cystoscopy;
  • digital rectal examination of the gland;
  • ultrasound of the abdominal organs;
  • uroflowmetry;
  • prostate biopsy;
  • blood tests for biochemistry, electrolytes, coagulation;
