Mumbai
Tier 1
$2,600 - $5,800
Laser procedures and premium facilities can raise cost.
Prostate procedure cost
TURP surgery cost in India by prostate size, approach, and city
Plan TURP or laser prostate surgery with USD ranges by city, prostate size, urinary retention, catheter status, anesthesia risk, and recovery needs.
How much does TURP surgery cost in India?
TURP surgery in India commonly ranges from $1,800 to $5,800 depending on prostate size, conventional TURP versus laser approach, catheter status, urinary retention, infection, hospital city, room type, and medical fitness. It should be separated from prostate cancer surgery, which follows a different pathway.
City-wise cost
USD range by Indian city
These ranges are planning bands. A hospital-backed quote should be requested after reports, diagnosis, and fitness details are reviewed.

Tier choice
When Tier 1 or Tier 2 cities may make sense
Tier 2 for stable BPH
Many planned TURP cases can be handled in Tier 2 cities with strong urology and blood-bank support.
Tier 1 for complex prostate cases
Very large prostate, high PSA, major heart risk, or suspected cancer may need Tier 1 depth.
Separate BPH from cancer
TURP cost should not be confused with prostate cancer surgery or radiation.
Included
What the estimate usually covers
Prostate procedure
Urologist, anesthesia, OT, conventional TURP or planned laser procedure.
Approach must be written.
Hospital stay
Room, nursing, catheter care, bladder irrigation if needed, and routine medicines.
Bleeding can extend stay.
Routine tests
Basic labs, urine tests, and monitoring when bundled.
PSA or biopsy may be separate.
Catheter plan
Initial catheter management during admission.
Follow-up catheter care may vary.
Not included
What patients should confirm separately
Cancer evaluation
MRI prostate, biopsy, PSMA PET, or cancer surgery planning.
Separate from BPH TURP.
Laser upgrade
HoLEP, ThuLEP, or other laser procedures if not included in TURP quote.
Often different pricing.
Complications
Bleeding, clot retention, infection, ICU, transfusion, or extended catheter stay.
Risk rises with prostate size.
Travel follow-up
Hotel stay, catheter removal visit, local travel, and repeat urine tests.
Plan outside package.
Cost drivers
Factors that can change the final estimate
Prostate size
Larger prostates may need laser enucleation or longer operating time.
Ultrasound matters.
Approach
Conventional TURP, bipolar TURP, HoLEP, or other laser options have different cost and recovery profiles.
Compare accurately.
Catheter dependence
Long-standing retention, infection, or weak bladder may require extra monitoring.
History matters.
Bleeding risk
Blood thinners, large prostate, anemia, or heart disease can change planning.
Fitness review required.
Cancer suspicion
High PSA or abnormal exam may need cancer evaluation before BPH surgery.
Do not skip.
Reports
Reports needed for a more accurate quote
The report checklist is different for each treatment so every cost page avoids generic duplicated content.
TURP reports
TURP estimates need prostate size, urinary symptoms, infection status, and PSA context.
Ultrasound and prostate size
Shows prostate volume, residual urine, bladder changes, and kidney swelling.
PSA and urine tests
PSA, urine routine, culture, and infection history help rule out delays or cancer suspicion.
Catheter and retention history
Retention episodes, catheter duration, failed trials, and urine flow details affect planning.
Medicines and fitness
Blood thinners, heart disease, diabetes, and anesthesia risk should be reviewed.
Hospital selection
How to compare hospitals beyond the lowest package
Urologist and equipment
Confirm TURP, bipolar, or laser experience and equipment availability.
Approach matters.
Bleeding readiness
Ask about blood bank, irrigation, catheter care, and clot-retention response.
Important after TURP.
Cancer screening
Clarify PSA, prostate exam, biopsy need, and pathology process.
Avoid missed cancer.
Follow-up catheter plan
Ask when catheter is removed and whether another visit is needed before flying.
Travel timing depends on this.
Patient journey
From first estimate to treatment travel
BPH confirmation
The urologist reviews symptoms, prostate size, PSA, and infection status.
Approach choice
TURP, bipolar, laser, or other options are compared based on size and risk.
Procedure and catheter care
Surgery, irrigation, catheter monitoring, and discharge planning are completed.
Urine flow follow-up
Catheter removal, urine flow, infection signs, and medicine changes are reviewed.
Recovery planning
Stay, follow-up, and return-home planning
Urinary symptoms
Burning, frequency, urgency, or mild blood can occur, but fever or heavy bleeding needs review.
Catheter and activity
Patients should understand catheter care, fluid intake, lifting limits, and travel timing.
Pathology and PSA follow-up
Tissue pathology and future PSA review should be documented.
Questions
Common questions
Is TURP the same as prostate cancer surgery?
No. TURP treats urinary blockage from benign prostate enlargement; prostate cancer treatment needs separate staging and planning.
Can TURP be done in Tier 2 cities?
Yes, stable BPH cases can be suitable in Tier 2 hospitals with experienced urologists and blood backup.
Is laser prostate surgery costlier than TURP?
Often yes, depending on laser type, prostate size, and hospital package.
What reports are needed for TURP estimate?
Ultrasound, prostate size, PSA, urine culture, creatinine, catheter history, and medicine list are useful.
Does TURP cost include catheter removal?
It may be included during admission, but follow-up removal or review should be confirmed.
Can Virello compare TURP and laser quotes?
Yes. Virello can compare approach, prostate size assumptions, city fit, inclusions, and follow-up needs.
