What the procedure involves.
Prostate surgery in China for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) includes transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP), and GreenLight laser vaporization. China's leading urology departments treat thousands of BPH patients annually with cutting-edge laser technology that minimizes bleeding and shortens recovery. International patients benefit from rapid scheduling and comprehensive urological care at substantially lower costs.
Step by step.
Urological Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation including digital rectal exam, PSA blood test, transrectal ultrasound, uroflowmetry, and post-void residual measurement. The urologist determines the optimal surgical technique based on prostate size and patient factors.
Prostate Surgery
Under spinal or general anesthesia, the enlarged prostate tissue is resected (TURP) or vaporized (laser). No external incisions are needed — the procedure is performed through the urethra using an endoscopic approach.
Catheter Management & Recovery
A urinary catheter is placed for 1-3 days. The patient is monitored for bleeding and urinary function. The catheter is removed once urine is clear, and voiding trial confirms adequate flow.
- 70-80% cost savings compared to prostate surgery in the US
- Latest laser technology (HoLEP, GreenLight) for minimal bleeding
- No external incisions — endoscopic approach with faster recovery
- Experienced urologists handling high case volumes annually
- Retrograde ejaculation (common after TURP, less common with laser)
- Temporary urinary incontinence or urgency during recovery
- Rare urethral stricture requiring dilation procedure
- Blood in urine for 1-2 weeks post-surgery is normal
