Prostatectomy

The surgical procedure to remove all or part of the prostate gland is called a prostatectomy in medicine. One of the most important reasons for this procedure is to prevent prostate cancer.

Prostate Cancer Treatment

Prostate cancer develops in different stages and prostatectomy is usually recommended in the first two stages of cancer. The first stage is the stage where the cancer is confined to the prostate and does not spread to the organs, and the second stage is the stage where cancer spreads a little outside of the prostate but still does not spread to other organs. In both these stages, doctors may recommend a prostatectomy after performing the necessary examinations.

Prostatectomy in Early Diagnosis

In the early diagnosis of prostate cancer, there are some elements that are targeted by performing the prostatectomy procedure. For example, after the surgical procedure, it is aimed to completely remove the tumor, that is, clean cancer completely. At the same time, it is very important for the person to be able to hold their urine after the surgery and to ensure the continuity of the erection. While providing cancer control, on one hand, the operation is completed in a way that the patient will be healthy and happy by focusing on functional results on the other.

Radical Prostatectomy

Radical prostatectomy surgery is currently shown as one of the best treatment methods for prostate cancer. The purpose of the operation is to combine the urinary tract and bladder in the penis while removing the cancerous part from the body.

Before and After Prostatectomy

Before prostatectomy, patients should go to the hospital one day before. In this way, both the medical preparations are completed early and the necessary tests are carried out if necessary by the specialist doctor and his team. On the day the prostatectomy procedure is planned, the patient goes back to the hospital and they can leave the hospital on the same day as long as no problems occur.

Although the operation is performed under general anesthesia, intensive care is generally not needed and the patient can quickly return to his/her normal life. Patients can start walking the next day after prostatectomy. One of the points that patients are most anxious about is the continuation of the problem of urinary incontinence.
