Your consultant will remove or destroy the portion of your prostate that’s pressing on your bladder and urethra to help restore normal urine flow.

Based near Leeds and Wakefield, we provide comprehensive private hospital care for our patients across West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire.
We have a team of expert urologists who specialise in men’s health and have wide experience of performing prostate surgery. Working alongside an excellent aftercare team, they’ll provide you with a treatment and recovery plan that’s tailored to your needs.
We offer fast access to consultations and treatments, in a clean, comfortable environment. The typical waiting time from diagnosis by your consultant (or a referral) to receiving prostate surgery is two to three weeks.
It's a common operation to have done privately, and our inclusive prices and access to payment plans make it easy and more affordable, even if you don’t have medical insurance.

Meeting your consultant
You’ll meet your consultant in one of our consultation rooms. You’ll discuss:
You may also need a pre-operative assessment with a specialist nurse before going ahead with treatment. This is to ensure you're fit and well enough for surgery.
We offer transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). For this procedure:
Your consultant will be able to explain the procedure in full detail and answer any questions you may have during your consultation.
TURP usually takes from 45 minutes to an hour. If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they’re welcome to wait in your private room while you have your operation.
After surgery, you'll have a urinary catheter until the swelling in your urethra has gone down, allowing you to pass urine normally again. This will be taken out by one of our nurses before you leave hospital – which is usually two nights after your operation. You'll stay in one of our private, en-suite rooms.
Please note laser prostate surgery is not available at Spire Methley Park Hospital.
Our nurses will provide you with medication to help you manage any pain following your operation. They’ll also give you advice about over-the-counter medications you can use while at home, and anything you should or shouldn’t do.
Your recovery time will depend on the procedure you've had and your overall health. Although everyone’s different and you should always follow your consultant’s advice, here’s a typical timeline for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP):
Catheter is removed and you can leave hospital

Back to desk-based job and sex if you’re comfortable enough
