Hoe gaat een TURP operatie?
De TURP-operatie gebeurt onder narcose of onder gedeeltelijke verdoving (ruggenprik). Tijdens de ingreep verwijdert de uroloog via de plasbuis een deel van uw prostaat. In de plasbuis, tot aan de prostaat, wordt een hol buisje ingebracht. De prostaat wordt vervolgens afgeschraapt om de urinebuis weer vrij te maken.
What is a biopolar TURP?
Bipolar TURP refers to the technology of using bipolar instruments during resection of prostate tissue. Traditional TURP uses monopolar technology. Traditional monopolar technology requires the use of glycine or water during the procedure, which are associated with significant risks,…
What does TURP mean in medical terms?
Overview. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgery used to treat urinary problems due to an enlarged prostate. A combined visual and surgical instrument (resectoscope) is inserted through the tip of your penis and into the tube that carries urine from your bladder (urethra). The prostate surrounds the urethra.
What is the fluid used in TURP?
Definition Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) typically utilizes large volumes of irrigation fluids for distension and irrigation during the procedure. Historically, these fluids were slightly hyposomolar solutions of glycine, sorbitol, or glucose.
What is the difference between TURP and tuvrp?
TURP can be either monopolar or bipolar, using thin or thick loop. Bipolar TURP is associated with less bleeding and less chances of dilutional hyponatremia. TUVRP, using a thick wedge loop, causes vaporization and resection of the prostate, and is associated with less bleeding and short operative time.
