Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate
Transurethral needle ablation (also called TUNA or transurethral radiofrequency ablation) is a technique that uses low energy radio frequency delivered through two needles to ablate excess prostate tissue.
See Prostate and Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate
Transurethral resection of the prostate
Transurethral resection of the prostate (commonly known as a TURP, plural TURPs, and rarely as a transurethral prostatic resection, TUPR) is a urological operation.
See Prostate and Transurethral resection of the prostate

Ultrasound
Ultrasound is sound with frequencies greater than 20 kilohertz.
Urethra

Urinary incontinence
Urinary incontinence (UI), also known as involuntary urination, is any uncontrolled leakage of urine.
See Prostate and Urinary incontinence
Urinary retention

See Prostate and Urinary retention
Urination
Urination is the release of urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.
Urine
Urine is a liquid by-product of metabolism in humans and in many other animals.
Urogenital sinus
The urogenital sinus is a body part of a human or other placental only present in the development of the urinary and reproductive organs.
See Prostate and Urogenital sinus
Urorectal septum
The urorectal septum is an invagination of the cloaca.
See Prostate and Urorectal septum
Vagina
In mammals and other animals, the vagina (vaginas or vaginae) is the elastic, muscular reproductive organ of the female genital tract.
Vas deferens
The vas deferens (vasa deferentia), with the more modern name ductus deferens (ductūs deferentes), is part of the male reproductive system of many vertebrates. Prostate and vas deferens are human male reproductive system and mammal male reproductive system.
Venice
Venice (Venezia; Venesia, formerly Venexia) is a city in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region.
Vesical veins
The vesical veins are veins in the pelvis that drain blood from the urinary bladder.
See Prostate and Vesical veins
Vesical venous plexus
The vesical venous plexus is a venous plexus situated at the fundus of the urinary bladder.
See Prostate and Vesical venous plexus
Walnut
A walnut is the edible seed of any tree of the genus Juglans (family Juglandaceae), particularly the Persian or English walnut, Juglans regia.
William Cheselden
William Cheselden (19 October 168810 April 1752) was an English surgeon and teacher of anatomy and surgery, who was influential in establishing surgery as a scientific medical profession.

X-ray
X-rays (or rarely, X-radiation) are a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
