Question

Patient is admitted for contact laser vaporization of the prostate. The physician performed a TURP and transurethral resection of the bladder neck at the same time. What procedures were performed on the patient?

1) Contact laser vaporization of the prostate
2) TURP
3) Transurethral resection of the bladder neck
4) Both TURP and transurethral resection of the bladder neck

Answer 1

The patient underwent TURP and transurethral resection of the bladder neck.

Step-by-step explanation:

The procedures performed on the patient were TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) and transurethral resection of the bladder neck. The patient was initially admitted for contact laser vaporization of the prostate, but the physician performed additional procedures to address the bladder neck as well. These procedures are commonly done together to alleviate symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate gland and bladder neck obstruction.
