Non-cancerous Growth of the Prostate, Mr Neil Barber, Consultant Urology
Description:
Surgical intervention with a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard. The most modern approach is to use bipolar technology which allows optimum safety, reduced risk of significant blood loss and better haemostasis versus monopolar resection. Main surgeon benefits with bipolar technology include improved vision, reduced blood loss and less time pressure in terms of the length of the operation. Patients can expect reduced risk of bleeding and reduced length of hospital stay.
