TUIP: TRANS URETHRAL INCISION PROSTATE
The TUIP is simply a pair of incisions made on the sides of the bladder neck that closes the bladder off from the urethra. The incisions are made through the urethra and is a simple procedure. Urologists are not sure why this works for the relief of BPH problems, but it does. Often urine peak flow is greatly increased, getting up at night is reduced and hesitation and some of the other less serious BPH problems are lessened.
This procedure is much like a TURP for the equipment used and the insertion. The electric knife makes only the two incisions and no removal of prostatic tissue is done. This is another option a patient with really bothersome BPH has to find relief
