Benign prostatic hyperplasia remains the most common disease among the male population today, with surgery being the most effective treatment method. However, surgery in Israel and the CIS is two very different things. Israeli doctors understand that treatment should restore health while not disrupting the functionality of this vital gland in the male body. That is why Top Ihilov uses only minimally invasive surgical techniques that allow for the removal of the adenoma while preserving male health.
The most effective method of treatment is recognized as transurethral resection of the prostate, which the clinic's doctors widely use in contrast to traditional surgery. The use of innovations at Top Ihilov is made possible by the high-tech equipment of our medical center.
Procedure for TURP at Top Ihilov
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a benign overgrowth of glandular tissue that is not a cancerous disease and is accompanied by specific manifestations. Thus, urination is difficult due to the overgrowth of glandular tissue that obstructs the urethra, frequent urges to urinate occur because a certain portion of urine is not expelled and remains in the bladder, the risk of developing infectious-inflammatory processes in the urinary system increases, and kidney stones may form.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in Israel is considered the most effective method for treating adenoma. The operation is performed without external incisions. Anesthesia is selected individually: either local - spinal anesthesia, or general. Before the operation, the patient is prescribed blood-thinning medications to prevent thrombosis.
At the beginning of the procedure, the surgeon inserts a resectoscope into the patient's urethra - a device equipped with a loop with electrodes for cauterizing blood vessels to avoid bleeding. Using the loop, the surgeon captures and removes the adenoma. The operation continues until the doctor reaches normal glandular tissue. The resectoscope is equipped with a system of channels, through one of which a solution is continuously supplied to wash away the removed adenoma tissue, while the other channel allows for their drainage.
The operation lasts from 1 to 1.5 hours. Hospital stay takes 1-2 days. The presence of blood in the urine in the first few days after the operation is considered normal, as is pain during urination.
Two weeks after the operation, the patient can return to sedentary work, and after 1.5 months - to physical activities. After 2 months, the man can resume sexual activity.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in Israel involves mandatory diagnostics of the disease, namely:
- cystoscopy;
- digital rectal examination of the gland;
- ultrasound of the abdominal organs;
- uroflowmetry;
- prostate biopsy;
- blood tests for biochemistry, electrolytes, coagulation;
- PSA;
- ECG.
