The nearness of an indwelling urinary catheter and a ceaseless bladder water system are standard postoperative desires after a TURP; they accommodate hemostasis and urinary discharge. A stomach entry point and dressing are available with a suprapubic, not transurethral, prostatectomy. After a TURP the customer at first can expect hematuria and some blood coagulations; the persistent bladder water system keeps the bladder free of clumps and the catheter patent.
