Prostate Surgery in Palmerston North
Prostate surgery involves surgical removal of part or all of the
prostate
and is performed by a
Urologist
. When men reach their mid-forties, the prostate gland begins to enlarge. This condition,
benign prostatic hyperplasia
(BPH), affects the
urethra
and makes urination difficult. An operation called transurethral resection of the prostate removes the prostate tissue that is blocking the urethra.
