A member asked:
I'm scheduled for turp procedure to remove part of my prostate. i have cirrhosis too. what are the risks of having this done in my condition?

Nonw: A TURP isnot the most extensive procedure under anesthesia. It can also be done by DaVinci Robot with smaller incision. If there is no jaundice, ascites or signs of portal hypertenision associated with the cirrhosis then the surgery should not be a problem.
