I had an appointment yesterday with my consultant who said he would put me on the waiting list for TURP or green light laser.  Today I have received an appointment for a trans urethral resection of bladder tumour.  Is TURBT the same as TURP?  I believe my problem is not so much my enlarged prostate but a large median lobe of the prostate.

A bunch, I can't really answer you question but I don't think they are the same procedure. In your position I would ring the hospital and check they have the right procedure. I would also ring the nurses on this site and see if they can explain your situation. Not sure if you are in the UK.

Thanks Chris
