Prostatectomy is a surgical procedure used to partially or completely remove the prostate gland, mostly to treat prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The procedure commonly involves making an incision and extracting the prostate gland or a portion of it. This can be done through a retropubic or suprapubic incision in the lower abdomen, or through a perineal incision located between the scrotum and the rectum.
Before undergoing a prostatectomy, a prostate biopsy is often required. This biopsy provides additional information needed for planning the surgery.
Types of Prostatectomy
Radical prostatectomy: This operation removes the entire prostate gland as well as the surrounding lymph nodes. The surgical techniques used to do radical prostatectomy include the following:
- Robot-assisted surgery: In this technique, several small incisions are made in the lower abdomen to remove the prostate gland.
- Open surgery: In this method to remove the prostate gland, a surgical incision is created in the lower abdomen between the anus and the scrotum.
- Laparoscopic: This procedure involves inserting specific surgical tools into the lower abdomen to remove the prostate gland.
