Prostate Surgery

Expert Prostate Surgery and Care in Gurgaon

The prostate gland naturally enlarges with age, and for many men, this leads to urinary symptoms that can significantly affect daily life and sleep. At NephroUroCare, our urology team offers comprehensive evaluation and advanced surgical treatment for prostate conditions — with a focus on minimally invasive techniques, faster recovery, and long-term relief.

Whether your symptoms are recently developed or have been managed for years, our team will help determine whether surgery, medication, or a combination of approaches is right for you.

Understanding Prostate Enlargement (BPH)

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that commonly affects men over the age of 50. As the prostate grows, it can press against the urethra, making it difficult to urinate normally.

Common Symptoms of BPH

• Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
• Weak or interrupted urine stream
• Difficulty starting urination
• A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying
• Sudden, urgent need to urinate
• Straining while urinating

Not every case of BPH requires surgery — many patients are managed effectively with medication and lifestyle changes. Surgery is generally considered when symptoms are severe, medications aren’t providing relief, or complications develop.

When is Prostate Surgery Recommended?

Your urologist may recommend surgery if you experience:

• Symptoms that significantly affect quality of life despite medication
• Recurrent urinary tract infections related to incomplete bladder emptying
• Inability to urinate (urinary retention)
• Bladder stones caused by incomplete emptying
• Blood in the urine related to prostate enlargement
• Kidney function affected by long-term urinary obstruction

Surgical Options We Offer

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

Considered the gold-standard surgical treatment for BPH. A resectoscope is inserted through the urethra to remove excess prostate tissue that’s blocking urine flow — without any external incision.

Laser Prostate Surgery

Uses focused laser energy to vaporize or remove excess prostate tissue. Often associated with less bleeding and a shorter hospital stay compared to conventional TURP, making it a good option for select patients, including those on blood-thinning medication.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Depending on prostate size and patient factors, other minimally invasive options may be considered to relieve urinary symptoms with reduced recovery time.

Your urologist will recommend the most appropriate technique based on prostate size, overall health, and specific symptoms.

What to Expect

1. Pre-surgical evaluation — Urine flow studies, PSA testing, ultrasound, and general fitness assessment
2. The procedure — Performed under anesthesia, with most techniques requiring no external incision
3. Hospital stay — Typically 1–2 days, depending on the procedure and individual recovery
4. Catheter care — A temporary urinary catheter is usually required for a short period after surgery
5. Follow-up — Review of symptom improvement and urine flow, with further monitoring as needed

Recovery After Prostate Surgery

Most patients notice significant improvement in urinary symptoms within a few weeks of surgery. Your care team will guide you on:

• Activity restrictions during initial recovery
• Catheter care and removal timeline
• Managing mild, temporary side effects like urgency or minor bleeding
• When to resume normal activities, including work and exercise

Is Prostate Surgery Only for BPH?

While BPH is the most common reason for prostate surgery, evaluation and treatment planning also account for other prostate-related concerns, including prostatitis complications and structural issues affecting urine flow. Prostate cancer surgery is managed as a distinct treatment pathway with its own evaluation process — our team will guide you accordingly if malignancy is suspected or confirmed.
