What is the Cost of TURP In India?

The first thing that anyone asked to undergo TURP does is get a cost estimate of the procedure. Generally, the cost of TURP in India can be anywhere from Rs. 75,000 to Rs. 90,000. The final cost, however, can be different for all individuals based on different factors. The healthcare facility you choose to get treated at will consider all the factors (which we’ll discuss further) before giving you a cost estimate of the surgery. These factors may range from the city and hospital you choose to get treated at to the surgeon’s fees, the cost of diagnostic tests, and so on.

What Is TURP?

Transurethral Resection of the Prostate, or TURP, is a surgery that is suggested for patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. The surgeon’s aim with this surgery is to treat the urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate and help patients regain their quality of life. 

In this surgery, a resectoscope, i.e., a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and camera, is inserted through the tip of the penis into the urethra, the tube that carries urine from your bladder. This instrument helps doctors to view the problem areas and trim away the excess prostate tissue causing a blockage in the urine flow. This surgery is suggested when conservative methods such as medicines fail to relieve enlarged prostate symptoms.

Factors That Affect TURP Cost In India

The cost of TURP isn’t constant nationwide. The total expense of surgery can vary depending on various factors that you should know of. Hospitals and doctors consider all these factors before giving you the final quote. Factors that affect TURP surgery cost include the following: 

  • Choice of treatment hospital: The hospital you choose can significantly affect the expense you have to bear for the surgery. In general, treatment at government hospitals will cost you much lower compared to private hospitals. The variation can be owed to the difference in facilities they offer. 
  • Choice of treatment city: Your choice of treatment city can also influence the cost of the surgery. Treatment costs are generally higher in metro cities compared to other cities. 
  • Surgeon’s fees: Surgeons charge different fees for carrying out the operation. Therefore, the fees charged by them can cause a difference in the cost. Make sure you obtain clarity on the consultation and follow-up charges of the surgeon before proceeding with the surgery. 
  • Surgeon’s experience: A surgeon who has more experience will most likely charge you higher compared to a surgeon’s with less experience.
  • Technology used: The equipment and technology used to perform the procedure also affect the surgery cost. Hospitals that have the latest, cutting-edge equipment and state-of-the-art infrastructure will charge you much higher. 
  • Fees of the anesthesiologist: Anesthesiologists generally charge separate fees for administering anesthesia and monitoring the patient. Make sure you get clarity on this prior to the procedure. 
  • Cost of diagnostic tests: The surgeon may recommend some investigations before surgery. The cost of these diagnostic tests may also cause the total surgery cost to become higher or lower. 
  • Additional charges due to complications: If complications occur during or after surgery, additional surgery or treatment may be required, which may raise the entire treatment cost.
