If you live in Boca Raton, Florida, and require a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), treatment is available from some of the most knowledgeable surgeons in the world at Moffitt Cancer Center, located just a short drive away in Tampa. We offer a comprehensive range of diagnostic, treatment and support services, and we never require referrals.

TURP is a minimally invasive procedure that removes tissue from the inner part of the prostate to resolve urinary problems or address a tumor. When the prostate becomes enlarged due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or a cancerous growth, the gland can press against the urethra, making urination difficult and painful. A TURP procedure can remove the excess tissue that has blocked the urethra, clearing a pathway for urine to exit the bladder. To perform a TURP, a surgeon will:

Gently insert a resectoscope into the urethra
Extend a small looped component from within the instrument
Remove portions of the prostate using the extended loop

Moffitt’s talented surgeons also perform TURP for men with prostate cancer whose age or overall health prevents them from undergoing a prostatectomy. In these situations, a surgeon will perform TURP to remove cancerous tissue from the inner part of the prostate.
