Plasma TURIS removes obstructing prostate tissue through the urethra using bipolar (plasma) energy while irrigating with saline. Compared with traditional monopolar TURP, the saline environment reduces certain risks and can improve the bleeding profile, while delivering the strong, durable relief that resection provides.
Plasma TURIS is a bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate performed in a saline field — an effective, definitive treatment for larger or more obstructing enlarged prostates, with a favourable bleeding and safety profile compared with older monopolar TURP.

It is the option we turn to when a prostate is too large or too obstructing for minimally invasive treatments alone, and definitive tissue removal is the better path.
Accurate testing guides accurate care. Many patients are assessed and started on treatment the same day.
PSA, ultrasound for volume and flow testing establish that resection is the right choice.
Anticoagulants and general health are reviewed as part of surgical planning.
Plasma TURIS is performed under anesthesia; we plan the short inpatient stay.
Expected results, catheter time and risks are explained before scheduling.
Bipolar resection in saline for strong, durable relief of significant obstruction.
The saline field reduces some risks associated with older monopolar TURP.
Our clinic supports outpatient and inpatient care, so resection and recovery are managed on site.
Clear English aftercare and structured follow-up after the procedure.
Plasma TURIS rounds out the BPH options here, reserved for prostates that genuinely need resection rather than a minimally invasive approach. Because the clinic offers both outpatient and inpatient care, the procedure and recovery are handled in one place, with English-speaking support throughout.
It uses bipolar (plasma) energy in a saline field rather than monopolar energy, which reduces some risks and can improve the bleeding profile while giving the same definitive relief.
When the prostate is large or very obstructing, or minimally invasive options are unsuitable — definitive tissue removal then gives the most reliable result.
Plasma TURIS is performed under anesthesia and generally involves a short inpatient stay and a period with a catheter; this is planned in advance.
Resection can affect ejaculation. We discuss this and your function-preservation priorities before choosing the technique.
