The surgery will improve the flow of urine through the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder outside of your body. It can be done in different ways.

</div></div><div class="section-body" id="section-1"><p>These procedures are often done in your doctor's office or at an outpatient surgery center.</p><p>The surgery can be done in many ways. The type of surgery will depend on the size of your prostate and what caused it to grow. Your surgeon will consider the size of your prostate, how healthy you are, and what type of surgery you may want.</p><p>All of these procedures are done by passing an instrument through the opening in your penis (meatus). You will be given <a test="test" href="./007410.htm">general anesthesia</a> (asleep and pain-free), <a test="test" href="./007413.htm">spinal or epidural anesthesia</a> (awake but pain-free), or local anesthesia and sedation. Choices are:</p><ul><li><strong>Laser prostatectomy (laser TURP):</strong> This procedure takes about 1 to 2 hours. The laser destroys prostate tissue that blocks the opening of the urethra. You will probably go home the same day. You may need a <a test="test" href="./003981.htm">Foley catheter</a> placed in your bladder to help drain urine for a few days after surgery.</li><li><strong>Transurethral incision (TUIP):</strong> Your surgeon makes small surgical cuts where the prostate meets your bladder. This makes the urethra wider. This procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes. Many men can go home the same day. Full recovery can take 2 to 3 weeks. You may go home with a catheter in your bladder.</li><li><strong>Transurethral electrovaporization (TUVP):</strong> A tool or instrument delivers a strong electric current to destroy prostate tissue. You will have a catheter placed in your bladder. It may be removed within hours after the procedure or you may go home with it.</li><li><strong>Photoselective vaporization (PVP):</strong> A high-powered green-light laser is used to vaporize and remove excess prostate tissue with very little loss of blood.</li><li><strong>Prostatic urethral lift (PUL):</strong> Small implants are placed in the prostate lobes to compress the prostate tissue.</li><li><strong>Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT):</strong> TUMT delivers heat using microwave pulses to destroy prostate tissue. Your doctor will insert the microwave antenna through your urethra. You may need a Foley catheter placed in your bladder to help drain urine after surgery for 3 to 5 days.</li><li><strong>Water vapor thermal therapy (WVTT):</strong> This procedure releases sterile water vapor (steam) into the prostate to remove extra tissue. It can be done in the surgeon's office or an outpatient surgery center.</li><li><strong>Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA):</strong> The surgeon passes needles into the prostate. High-frequency sound waves (<a test="test" href="./003336.htm">ultrasound</a>) heat the needles and prostate tissue. You may need a Foley catheter placed in your bladder to help drain urine after surgery for 3 to 5 days.</li></ul></div></div></section><section><div class="section"><div class="section-header"><div class="section-title"><h2>Why the Procedure is Performed</h2></div><div class="section-button"><button type="submit" aria-controls="section-2" role="button" title="Expand/Collapse section"><span class="icon icon-section-action">
