About Transurethral Incision of The Prostate (TUIP)
An enlarged prostate can make it difficult to pass urine. Symptoms may include a weak stream, difficulty starting or a feeling that the bladder has not emptied. Your doctor assesses the cause before recommending treatment.
Transurethral incision of the prostate, or TUIP, is one possible operation for selected patients. Small cuts are made in the prostate area through an instrument passed along the urinary passage. The choice of treatment depends on prostate size, symptoms and overall health. Ask about alternatives, possible side effects, a catheter and recovery before deciding on surgery.
