Radical prostatectomy is the complete removal of the prostate in patients with aggressive prostate cancer. TURP stands for transurethral (though the urethra) resection of the prostate. It is considered a standard procedure for the surgical treatment of a benign enlarged prostate. The Swiss Atlas of Healthcare contains analyses on the frequency of radical prostatectomies and transurethral resections of the prostate (TURP) overall, as well as separate analyses on outpatient and inpatient settings.
