Prostatectomy
Articles and resources for Prostatectomy in Urologic Surgery.
Prostatectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of all or part of the prostate gland, which is located just below the bladder in men. This procedure is commonly considered for conditions such as prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or chronic prostatitis. The decision to undergo a prostatectomy typically arises when other treatment options are insufficient or when there is a significant risk of complications from the prostate condition.
The surgery can be performed using various techniques, including open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or robotic-assisted surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon removes the prostate gland and may also remove surrounding tissue or lymph nodes if necessary. Patients can expect to stay in the hospital for a few days post-surgery, and recovery times can vary. It is important to understand that the procedure may involve a catheter for urine drainage for a period following the operation.
While prostatectomy can effectively treat prostate-related conditions, it is not without risks. Potential benefits include the removal of cancerous tissue and relief from urinary symptoms. However, some common risks associated with the surgery include bleeding, infection, and potential changes in urinary function or sexual health. Patients are encouraged to discuss these aspects with their healthcare provider to gain a comprehensive understanding of the procedure.
