Turp Post Operative Nursing Care
What is a TURP?
Transurethral resection of the prostate or TURP is the surgical removal of a part of the prostate gland and this is one of the options available for helping relieve symptoms of an enlarged prostate or other benign prostate disease.
What are Prostate gland and a Urethra?
The prostate gland is a small gland in the male reproductive system, and it helps make semen. The urethra is the tube that connects the bladder, through the prostate gland, to the Penis and it is used to pass urine as well as for releasing seminal fluid.
Common Prostate problems
The three most commonly occurring prostate problems:
Prostate size and blockage of the urethra
If the inner part of the prostate gland obstructs the urethra during urination, this irritates the bladder and cause urinary symptoms.
Urinary symptoms may include
The actual size of the prostate does not appear to determine whether there is a blockage. Some men with large prostates never develop obstruction, but some men with small prostates can have severe bladder obstruction, which causes difficulty with urinating.
Around one in three men over the age of 50 years have some urinary symptoms. In most cases, these symptoms are due to a blockage caused by an enlarged prostate; there could also be other underlying reasons for the same though.
TURP procedure’
Transurethral resection of the prostate or TURP is sometimes referred to as a ‘rebore’. It involves inserting a slender instrument through the urethra to the prostate and removing prostate tissue back through the urethra. Only the middle part of the prostate is removed to remove the blockage and allow easy passage of urine. TURP is used most often for non-cancerous blockage but may also be used in some cases of prostate cancer. This is the most common form of surgery for BPH.
TURP post-operative nursing care strategies
Following the process of TransUrethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP), you remain in the hospital for one or two days.
