Prostate surgery is a hypernym used for a wide range of conventional and minimally invasive surgeries that aim at treating conditions affecting the prostate. The tiny gland forms a crucial part of the male reproductive tract as it regulates the production of seminal fluids. There are several different types of surgical modalities available for addressing different problems of the prostate.

More Information

Various different types of prostate surgery include:

  • Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP): The surgical intervention involves the use of a cystoscope and special tools to remove extra tissues from the prostate of a person suffering from an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia)
  • Prostatectomy: It refers to the surgical removal of the prostate gland. Doctors may either remove the whole gland along with the surrounding tissues (radical prostatectomy) or a part of it (partial prostatectomy.
  • Transurethral Incision of the Prostate (TUIP): It is a minimally invasive alternative to TURP in which excess tissue from the prostate is removed by making tiny, keyhole incisions.
  • HOLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate): The surgery employs a Holmium laser to destroy excess prostate tissue.
  • Cryotherapy: It is an advanced technique used for treating localized cancer treatment by destroying the cancer cells by subjecting them to extreme cold.

Prostate surgery may be recommended for treating a variety of conditions affecting the prostate gland and is generally the last resort if patients are not responding to other treatments. These include:

  • Prostate cancer that is still localized
  • Enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
  • Prostate inflammation or prostatitis
  • Accumulation of abscess in the prostate

Prostate surgery presents many potential benefits like:

  • It can help to treat cancer, as well as lower the risks of recurrence
  • It can help to enhance the flow of urine by removing blockage due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or tumours.
  • It helps to alleviate the risks of serious health complications
  • It can help to alleviate symptoms like pain and discomfort
  • Minimally invasive alternatives for the surgery are available as well

FAQ'S

Q: Is surgery the only treatment for BPH?

A: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-malignant condition in which the prostate gland of a person abnormally grows in size. Surgery is one of the treatments that is generally recommended for severe cases of BPH. Mild cases of BPH can be effectively managed with medication.

Q: What to expect after radical prostatectomy?

A: Right after the procedure you are likely to experience mild swelling and discomfort. In most cases, the patient might need a urinary catheter for a week or 10 days.

Q: How long does it take to recover from prostate surgery?

A: It takes around 4 weeks to recover from prostate surgery, however, there might be certain restrictions that last longer. This generally depends on factors like the age of the patient and overall prognosis.

Q: Does radical prostatectomy interfere with reproductive health?
