Prostate Surgery

Prostate surgery is a medical procedure aimed at treating conditions affecting the prostate gland, most commonly benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. The surgery is performed to relieve symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, or to remove cancerous tissue. Techniques include transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), which involves removing part of the prostate through the urethra, and radical prostatectomy, where the entire prostate gland is removed along with surrounding tissue.

The procedure can be conducted using traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery. Recovery varies based on the type of surgery, but many patients experience improved urinary function and quality of life following the procedure.
