Explanation:

Hello!

Transurethral rescection of the prostate is a surgical procedure used in the treatment of urinary conditions, which are caused by an enlarged prostate gland.

The procedure is performed using a resectoscope, which is a surgical device that has a visual camera.

The resectoscope is inserted through the orifice of the penis through the urethra. Then, the surgeon cuts the prostate portion that obstructs the flow of urine.

Currently, it is a procedure indicated in patients with moderate to severe conditions that do not respond to less invasive treatments, since it can generate some complications such as urinary infections or hemorrhages.
