TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) is a procedure in which sections of the prostate gland are removed using a special instrument inserted through the urethra. It is a common treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). PSA is a blood test used to screen for prostate cancer, DRE (digital rectal exam) is a physical exam to check for abnormalities in the prostate, and TUIP (transurethral incision of the prostate) is a procedure in which small incisions are made in the prostate to relieve urinary symptoms. None of these procedures involve cutting out sections of the prostate through a urethral approach.
