Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad

Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad:
Advanced Minimally Invasive Prostate Surgery by Dr. Prarthan Joshi
Urologist & Genitourinary Surgeon, Zydus Hospitals, Ahmedabad.

For men with enlarged prostate (BPH) whose symptoms cannot be adequately controlled with medications — or who have developed complications such as urinary retention, bladder stones, or recurrent infections — surgical treatment is the most effective and durable solution available. Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad — Transurethral Resection of the Prostate using advanced bipolar energy technology — is the gold standard surgical treatment for BPH worldwide, and is now safer, more precise, and more effective than ever before.

At Zydus Hospitals, Ahmedabad, Dr. Prarthan Joshi — a distinguished Urologist and Genitourinary Surgeon — performs Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad with extensive experience, advanced bipolar technology, and a patient-centred approach that prioritises safety, surgical precision, and rapid recovery. With over 5,000 successful urological procedures to his credit, Dr. Joshi offers world-class minimally invasive prostate surgery with consistently excellent outcomes.

What is Bipolar TURP Surgery?

Bipolar TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is a minimally invasive endoscopic surgery for BPH performed entirely through the urethra — no external skin incisions are made at any point. A thin telescopic instrument called a resectoscope is passed through the urethra to the prostate, and an electrosurgical loop powered by bipolar energy systematically removes the obstructing prostate tissue — reopening the urethral channel and restoring normal urine flow.

The key advancement of Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad over older monopolar TURP techniques is the use of normal saline irrigation — possible because bipolar energy completes the electrical circuit within the resectoscope itself rather than passing current through the patient body. This eliminates the risk of dangerous fluid and electrolyte imbalance (TURP Syndrome) that was a significant concern with older monopolar technology. As a leading Bipolar TURP surgeon in Ahmedabad, Dr. Prarthan Joshi uses the most advanced bipolar systems available at Zydus Hospitals — delivering superior safety, precision, and outcomes for every patient.

Who Needs Bipolar TURP Surgery

Who Needs Bipolar TURP Surgery?

Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad is recommended for men with BPH in any of the following clinical situations:

  • Inadequate symptom relief despite optimal medical therapy
  • Acute or chronic urinary retention
  • Recurrent urinary tract infections from incomplete emptying
  • Bladder stones formed from stagnant residual urine
  • Large post-void residual urine with bladder function decline
  • Patient preference for a definitive surgical solution

Dr. Prarthan Joshi carefully evaluates each patient prostate size, symptom severity, bladder function, and overall health before recommending Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad — ensuring surgery is offered at exactly the right time for each individual patient.

Advantages of Bipolar TURP Over Older Monopolar Techniques

Understanding the key differences between Bipolar and Monopolar TURP helps patients appreciate exactly why Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad represents the modern surgical gold standard for BPH treatment:

01

No TURP Syndrome Risk

Normal saline irrigation eliminates the dangerous fluid and electrolyte imbalance (TURP Syndrome) associated with older monopolar techniques — significantly enhancing patient safety.

02

Reduced Blood Loss

Superior haemostasis with bipolar energy reduces intraoperative blood loss — lowering transfusion risk and enabling safer surgery in older or cardiac patients.

03

Shorter Catheter Time

Better bleeding control means the urinary catheter can typically be removed sooner after surgery — reducing discomfort and shortening the overall hospital stay.

04

Faster Recovery

Reduced blood loss and elimination of fluid complications translate directly into shorter hospital stay, less post-operative discomfort, and faster return to normal activities.

05

Durable Results

Bipolar TURP delivers 85-90% significant symptom improvement sustained for 10-15 years in most patients — among the most durable outcomes of any BPH surgical procedure.

Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad by Dr. Prarthan Joshi at Zydus Hospitals combines the safest available technology with expert surgical skill — delivering reliable, lasting relief for men with enlarged prostate.

The Bipolar TURP Procedure: Step by Step

Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad at Zydus Hospitals is performed under spinal or general anaesthesia and typically takes 45-90 minutes depending on prostate size. Every patient benefits from Dr. Prarthan Joshi expert surgical skill and a dedicated urology team committed to safety and precision at every step.

Step 1 — Anaesthesia & Positioning

The patient is positioned with legs supported (lithotomy position) under spinal or general anaesthesia. No skin incisions are made at any stage of the procedure.

Step 2 — Resectoscope Introduction

The bipolar resectoscope is introduced through the urethra into the bladder under direct vision. The bladder is inspected and the obstructing prostate lobes are identified and assessed.

Step 3 — Systematic Prostate Resection

The obstructing prostate tissue is systematically resected in chips using the bipolar electrosurgical loop — with normal saline irrigation maintaining a clear operative field throughout. Bleeding vessels are coagulated under direct vision.

Step 4 — Catheter & Recovery

A three-way urinary catheter is placed at the end of surgery for continuous bladder irrigation. Most patients are discharged within 1-2 days once irrigation runs clear. Catheter removal typically on day 1-2 post-operatively.

Pre-Operative Assessment for Bipolar TURP in Ahmedabad

Before performing Bipolar TURP Surgery, Dr. Prarthan Joshi conducts a thorough pre-operative evaluation to ensure every patient is optimally prepared and that the surgical approach is precisely planned:

01

Prostate Volume Assessment

Transrectal or transabdominal ultrasound measuring prostate volume — determining the most appropriate surgical technique and estimated operating time.
02

Uroflowmetry & Post-Void Residual

Objective baseline urine flow and residual volume measurement — confirming the degree of obstruction and providing a baseline to measure post-operative improvement.
03

Urine Culture & PSA

Active urinary infection must be cleared before surgery. PSA confirmation and prostate cancer exclusion form part of the pre-operative workup.
04

Cardiac & Anaesthetic Assessment

ECG, blood tests, and anaesthesia review — ensuring every patient is medically fit for surgery and that anticoagulant medications are managed safely around the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Bipolar TURP uses normal saline irrigation — eliminating the risk of TURP Syndrome (dangerous fluid and electrolyte imbalance) associated with older monopolar techniques that required hypotonic glycine solution. Bipolar TURP also offers better haemostasis, reduced blood loss, and a superior safety profile — particularly for older patients and those with cardiac conditions. It is the modern gold standard for TURP surgery in Ahmedabad.

Erectile dysfunction following correctly performed Bipolar TURP is uncommon. Retrograde ejaculation — where semen enters the bladder during orgasm — occurs in 65-75% of men and should be discussed before surgery. It does not affect erection quality or sexual pleasure but does affect fertility. Men planning to father children should discuss this specifically with Dr. Prarthan Joshi before proceeding with Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad.

Bipolar TURP delivers significant, durable symptom improvement sustained for 10-15 years in the majority of patients. Studies show 85-90% of men experience meaningful long-term improvement after TURP. A small proportion may require repeat treatment over time as the remaining prostate tissue continues to grow. Annual follow-up with Dr. Prarthan Joshi ensures results are maintained and any changes are detected early.

Yes — Bipolar TURP improved safety profile makes it significantly better tolerated than monopolar TURP for older patients, those with cardiac conditions, and those on anticoagulant medications. The elimination of TURP Syndrome risk and reduced blood loss are particularly important advantages for high-risk patients. Dr. Prarthan Joshi coordinates carefully with the anaesthesia and cardiology teams at Zydus Hospitals to ensure each patient Bipolar TURP Surgery in Ahmedabad is performed with maximum safety.
