Prostatectomy Surgery : Indications, Procedure & Recovery for Prostate Diseases
1 month ago
My father has been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate causing severe urinary issues and the doctor has recommended prostatectomy. Could you explain what this surgery involves and when it is necessary?

Prostatectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part or all of the prostate gland. It is commonly recommended in cases of severe BPH or prostate cancer when medications are not effective. The surgery can be performed using open, laparoscopic, or robotic techniques depending on the case.
It helps relieve urinary obstruction and improve bladder emptying. Recovery depends on the type of surgery but generally involves a short hospital stay and gradual return to normal activities. Patients may have a catheter temporarily. With proper care, prostatectomy can significantly improve urinary symptoms and overall quality of life.
