TURP—Removal of enlarged prostate ( Prostate Cancer Part) using a scope passed through urethra using electric in a piecemeal
fashion.

Thulium laser vapoenucleation of prostate (THUVEP)/ Thulium laser prostatectomy, advantages over
TURP:

  •  Less bleeding: Feasible on high risk- cardiac patients- on antiplatelets- No need for stopping
    antiplatelets, coagulopathy, chronic kidney Diseases etc.
  • Negligible risk of TUR syndrome- Because of use of normal saline & faster procedure- useful for
    High risk patients, cardiac, Pulmonary, CKD etc.
  • Can avoid open prostatectomy in larger glands- Glands upto 300 grams can be removed.

    Electric injury to urethra.
