This surgical treatment removes prostate tissue to relieve pressure on the urethra. This helps relieve symptoms. TURP is the most common BPH procedure.

If you will have one of these procedures, your doctor can tell you more about it. Your preparation and experience during surgery will be similar to TURP.
