    Howard;  I would also be interested as I have never heard of a mini turp.

    From What I googled it seems that a mini turp clears just the obstruction but leaves enough prostate to do Brachytherapy if cancer is present. The videos on you tube that show both the turp and mini turp look the same. ( I may be wrong )

    If we all just googled for answers then there would be no point belonging to this forum,

    plus the fact there are so many different answers that contradict on google.

    kind regards

    Howard

      If you Google you will find urology web sites that describe the procedure.

      Mini TURP was recently discussed on this Forum.

      Happy New Year and may the flow be with you.
