What is Prostate Surgery?
Prostate surgery is a medical procedure performed to treat conditions like prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that can cause urinary problems. The type of surgery depends on the diagnosis, prostate size, and overall patient health.
Common surgical options include:
- Radical prostatectomy – complete removal of the prostate gland, often for localized prostate cancer
- Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy (RALP) – minimally invasive surgery using robotic systems like da Vinci or Versius for greater precision and faster recovery
- Simple prostatectomy – removes only the inner part of the prostate, typically for severe BPH
- Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) – a scope-based procedure to remove obstructive prostate tissue in moderate BPH
- Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) – laser-based removal of excess prostate tissue
Surgery typically lasts 2–4 hours and is done under general anesthesia. Recovery ranges from 4–8 weeks depending on the method used. Side effects may include urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, especially after cancer-related procedures.
