We will soon begin repaving the main driveway outside the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings. Weather permitting, driveway closures are scheduled for the following weekends, from Friday at 8 p.m. through Sunday at 8 p.m., on the following dates: Sept. 19-21, Sept. 26-28, Oct. 17-19, and Oct. 24-26. 

Access Changes During Construction:

Pedestrian Access: Patients and visitors will be able to enter Moakley through the entrance on East Concord Street.    

Vehicle Access: Vehicular traffic should use the designated drop-off and pick-up area on East Concord Street or the 710 Albany Street Garage. Signage will indicate where metered parking has been blocked off to create a drop-off/pick-up zone (on E. Concord between Harrison and the Moakley side entrance).

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most common surgical procedure performed by urologists to treat BPH. It is performed by inserting a combined visual and surgical instrument into the urethra to remove excess prostate tissue. After a TURP, patients will typically be hospitalized for one night and have a catheter. Traditionally, TURP has been considered the most effective treatment for an enlarged prostate.

What are the benefits of TURP?

  • Obstructing tissue is rapidly removed with immediate relief of symptoms.
  • Patients are usually able to discontinue all their prostate medications following surgery.
  • Durable outcomes with minimal retreatment rate.
