Alan,
I think you misunderstood what your doctor told you. It would be impossible for him to have removed 95% of your prostate in a TURP procedure. What he most likely said was that he removed 95% of the blockage.
Also the prostate is not a benign organ. It is a part of the reproductive system. Sperm that are produced in the testis are transported to the prostate by tube like lines called vas deferens. The sperm is mixed with fluid in the prostate that nourishes and protects the sperm. The fluid and sperm mix is expelled as semen. Without a prostate a man cannot reproduce.
