Patients from Ft. Myers and Naples, Florida, who require transurethral removal of the prostate (TURP) or other prostate cancer treatments can turn to the expert surgeons at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa. When a tumor grows within the prostate (or the prostate becomes otherwise enlarged due to benign prostatic hyperplasia or other reasons), the swollen gland can block the urethra, making urination painful and difficult. A TURP procedure, which is designed to relieve the symptoms of an enlarged prostate by removing a portion of the gland, may also be recommended for cancer patients whose age or overall health prevents them from undergoing a radical prostatectomy (complete removal of the prostate). To perform a TURP, a surgeon will insert a tiny endoscopic instrument into the urethra. Using the instrument’s built-in light and lens to see, the surgeon can identify and remove cancerous tissue that exists in the inner part of the prostate with an electrically heated wire loop, simultaneously clearing the urethra to help resolve urinary problems.
