A Transurethral Resection of a prostate involves a procedure that is surgical in nature, in which gland of prostate portions are taken out by way of the urethra. This is normally done by a TURP type of surgery, which means it is transurethral in its procedure. This is usually done while you are under anesthesia of a general type, but can be done with an anesthetic which is local instead if the patient request it. It is a fairly simple operation.
