TURP vs HoLEP – Which Should You Choose?
TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate)
TURP is the traditional surgical standard for BPH. An electrosurgical loop is used to remove obstructing prostate tissue through the urethra. It is effective, widely available and covered by all insurance policies. It is particularly suitable for moderate-sized prostates (30–80 mL).
HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate)
HoLEP is the gold-standard laser treatment for BPH, suitable for prostates of all sizes including very large glands (>100 mL) where TURP would be inadequate. HoLEP offers less bleeding, shorter catheter time, faster discharge and lower risk of re-operation. Dr Manmeet Singh is one of the few surgeons in Uttar Pradesh performing HoLEP at Medanta Lucknow.
Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
For prostate cancer, robotic prostatectomy offers precision dissection, nerve sparing to preserve urinary continence and sexual function, and faster recovery than open surgery. While the upfront cost is higher, outcomes justify the investment for eligible patients.
Factors That Affect Prostate Surgery Cost
1. Prostate Size
Larger prostates take longer to treat and may require more advanced techniques. A 100 mL prostate requires HoLEP rather than TURP, which affects cost.
2. Stage and Grade of Prostate Cancer
Cancer surgeries are more complex than BPH procedures. Lymph node dissection and nerve-sparing techniques add to operative time and cost in radical prostatectomy cases.
3. Robotic vs Conventional Surgery
Robotic surgery involves the use of the da Vinci surgical system, whose instrument costs contribute to higher package pricing. However, patients benefit from smaller incisions, less blood loss and faster return to activity.
4. Anaesthesia and ICU Requirements
Patients with significant co-morbidities such as cardiac disease or diabetes may require ICU monitoring or longer anaesthesia, which affects the overall cost.
5. Pathology and Biopsy Costs
TURP and prostatectomy specimens are sent for histopathological analysis, which is an additional cost not always included in basic packages.
