What is another word for transurethral resection of the prostate?
Pronunciation: [tɹansˈɜːɹɛθɹə͡l ɹɪsˈɛkʃən ɒvðə pɹˈɒste͡ɪt] (IPA) 
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common surgery for the treatment of urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate. However, there are several synonyms or alternative terms used for TURP in medical parlance. These include Transurethral Prostatectomy (TUP), Endoscopic Resection of the Prostate, Transurethral Resection of Prostatic Tissue (TURPT), and Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Gland (TURPG). Another related term is Laser Prostatectomy, which involves the use of laser technology in the resection process. Despite the differences in terminology, these procedures are all aimed at the same outcome, which is relieving urinary obstructive symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate gland.
