What Does TUR Stand For?
TUR stands for Or TURP Trans Urethral Resection Of The Prostate
TUR, or Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by removing obstructive prostate tissue through the urethra. This technique aims to alleviate urinary symptoms caused by prostate enlargement, improving patients' quality of life. The procedure involves the use of a resectoscope, which allows for precise tissue removal while minimizing trauma to surrounding structures. TUR is typically performed under anesthesia and requires a short recovery period.
