Donald is a 62-year-old male who has been experiencing frequent urination and has had trouble starting to urinate for several weeks. He has a family history of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Donald’s BMI is 29; he occasionally drinks alcohol and coffee; and his diet consists mainly of red meat, starches, and dairy products. Just yesterday, he had an episode of incontinence and decided to seek care immediately. Donald was referred to a urologist who suspected that his prostate was the cause of his urinary issues.

Donald’s physician recommends a surgery called “transurethral resection of the prostate”. Briefly describe how this procedure is performed. Be sure to use anatomical terms.
