About Transurethral Incision of The Prostate (TUIP)
Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) is a medical procedure to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. This is generally used for men with small-to moderate-sized prostates. TUIP is one of several minimally invasive treatment options for an enlarged prostate, a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). To determine the right treatment choice for you, the doctors at Aar Pee Hospital will consider how severe your symptoms are, what other health problems you have, and the size and shape of your prostate.
A combined visual and surgical instrument (resectoscope) is inserted through the tip of the penis into the tube that carries urine from the bladder (urethra). The prostate surrounds the urethra. The doctor cuts one or two small grooves in the area where the prostate and the bladder are connected (bladder neck) to open the urinary channel and allow urine to pass through more easily. At AarPee Hospital, you can be assured of your successful treatment of TUIP, as the doctors here have a vast hands-on experience in TUIP surgery.
