Overview
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) remains the established gold-standard surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and has an outstanding long-term evidence base. Mr Sheikh performs TURP at Lancashire using the latest bipolar resection technology — passing a resectoscope through the urethra to surgically remove excess prostate tissue and restore normal urinary flow. TURP is recommended for men with moderate to severe BPH symptoms, particularly where the prostate gland is significantly enlarged or where medical management has been unsuccessful.
