Bipolar cautery vaporization, or “Button TURP'' is an advanced procedure for treating an enlarged prostate. TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) has been a gold standard treatment for low urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign (non-cancerous) prostatic hyperplasia (an abnormal increase of the cells). Bipolar cautery vaporization is performed using a special scope inserted through your urethra (a tube through which urine leaves the body) under general anesthesia (a numbing agent). This scope consists of a light source, a tiny camera to view the prostate tissues, and a button-shaped device at the end that uses plasma energy to dissolve (vaporize) the tissues that often cause urinary obstruction in men.
An enlarged prostate is a common condition among aging men, which makes it harder for them to urinate and fully empty the bladder. This leads to frequent urination and urine incontinence (inability to control the urine flow that causes leakage).
The severity of BPH can be classified into the following grades or stages:
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is an effective treatment that helps treat an enlarged prostate, with bipolar cautery vaporization being the most advanced technique. It is used to treat stage III and IV BPH.
Bipolar cautery vaporization, or button TURP is a minimally invasive, incision-free procedure that utilizes a special scope, a resectoscope with a light source, and a tiny camera inserted through your urethra. The camera captures images of the surgical site and projects them on a large scale to guide the surgeon in performing the surgery. A button-shaped device at the end of the resectoscope uses low-temperature plasma energy instead of heat or electrical energy to vaporize (dissolve) the enlarged, hyperplastic prostate tissues.
Bipolar cautery vaporization is most often recommended to reduce symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). These include:
When other conservative methods fail to provide relief and treat an enlarged prostate, your surgeon may recommend bipolar cautery vaporization surgery in Mysuru.
It may also be indicated to treat or prevent complications due to blocked urine flow, in the following medical conditions:
Preparation before bipolar cautery vaporization is as follows:
Bipolar cautery vaporization is an inpatient procedure that may require you to stay in the hospital for 1 to 3 days for the initial recovery. The procedure involves the following:
You are expected to spend another 1 to 2 hours in the recovery room, where you will be observed by monitoring your vitals (blood pressure, sugar levels, pulse, heart rate, oxygen levels, and urine output).
Bipolar cautery vaporization is a new and advanced alternative to traditional TURP with the following benefits and associated risks.
