An instrument is inserted up the urethra to remove the section of the prostate that is blocking urine flow.

• A. Trans-Urethral Resection of Prostate- TURP
• B. Urinary Tract Infection-UTI
• C. Syncope
• D. ALOC

Answer: (A)

Relieving bladder outlet obstruction caused by an enlarged prostate is often done with an endoscopic approach that removes tissue through the urethra. This procedure uses a resectoscope passed up the urethra into the prostate, where an electric loop shaves away the obstructing prostatic tissue to reopen urine flow. It’s the classic method for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia when medical therapy isn’t enough, because it directly targets and reduces the blockage without a large external incision. The other options describe conditions (infection or changes in consciousness) rather than a procedure to remove prostate tissue, so they don’t fit the description of the described intervention.
