Prostatectomy is a surgical procedure that is performed to remove a diseased prostate gland. Prostatectomy can also be done to remove an enlarged prostate gland. This is known as simple prostatectomy. When a prostatectomy is performed to treat prostate cancer, it is known as radical prostatectomy.
Prostatectomy may be performed by an open surgery method or by laparoscopy. Laparoscopic prostatectomy may be performed either manually or by using robotic approach. This type of laparoscopy is known as robot-assisted prostatectomy.
What are the different methods of Prostatectomy?
Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy
In radical retropubic prostatectomy, an incision is made in the abdomen, below the navel extending up to the pubic bone. The duration of this type of prostatectomy can take up to four hours.
Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy
In laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, several small incisions are made in the patient’s abdomen. A laparoscope, which is an endoscopic tube with a camera attached to it, is inserted through one of these cuts. This helps the surgeon to view the insides of the patient’s abdomen. Other surgical tools are also inserted and the surgery is performed.
Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy
Occasionally, laparoscopic surgery may be performed using a robotic system. The surgeon uses a computer to move the robotic arms that performs the surgery.
Radical Perineal Prostatectomy
In radical perineal prostatectomy, an incision is made on the skin that is between the perineum, which is the scrotum, and the anus. Compilations include nerve damage and difficulty in removing lymph nodes.
How to Prepare for Prostatectomy?
The patient is physically examined to ensure that the patient is in a good condition to undergo surgery.
The patient may need to give some tests like blood and urine analysis, transrectal ultrasound, prostate biopsy, bone scan, CT scan and MRI.
The doctor should be informed about any medication that the patient is taking with or without a prescription. These may include supplements or herbs or drugs.
Certain medication that the patient is taking may be stopped two weeks before the surgery.
The doctor should be informed if the patient has any ailments or medical conditions.
The patient must stop smoking to ensure a quick recovery.
The patient may be required to take laxative medicine on the evening ahead of the surgery if the patient’s intestine needs to be cleaned.
