Radical Prostatectomy Surgery in India
A Radical Prostatectomy is an operation to remove the
prostate gland and some of the tissue around it. It is done to
remove prostate cancer. This operation may be done by open
surgery. Or it may be done by laparoscopic surgery through
small incisions. Laparoscopic surgery may be done by hand.
But some doctors now do it by guiding robotic arms that hold
the surgery tools. This is called robot-assisted prostatectomy.

Treatment of
Radical
Prostatectomy
Open Surgery- In open surgery, the surgeon makes an incision
to reach the prostate gland. Depending on the case, the
incision is made either in the lower belly or in the perineum
between the anus and the scrotum.
When the incision is made in the lower belly, it is called the
retropubic approach. In this procedure, the surgeon may also
remove lymph nodes in the area so that they can be tested for
cancer.
When the incision is made in the perineum, it is called the
perineal approach. The recovery time after this surgery may be
shorter than with the retropubic approach. If the surgeon
wants to remove lymph nodes for testing, he or she must make
a separate incision. If the lymph nodes are believed to be free
of cancer based on the grade of the cancer and results of the
PSA test, the surgeon may not remove lymph nodes.

Treatment of Radical Prostatectomy
For Laparoscopic Surgery, the surgeon makesseveral small
incisions in the belly. A lighted viewing instrument called a
laparoscope is inserted into one of the incisions. The surgeon uses
special instruments to reach and remove the prostate through the
other incisions.
Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is surgery
done through small incisions in the belly with robotic arms that
translate the surgeon's hand motions into finer and more precise
action. This surgery requires specially trained doctors.
The main goal of either open or laparoscopic surgery is to remove
all the cancer. Sometimes that means removing the prostate and
the tissues around it, including a set of nerves to the penis that
affect the man's ability to have an erection. Some tumors can be
removed using a nerve-sparing technique. This means carefully
cutting around those nerves to leave them intact. Nerve-sparing
surgery sometimes preserves the man's ability to have an
erection.

What are the benefits
and risks of Radical
prostatectomy?
If you're young and in good health, the short-term risks of this
surgery are low. The hospital stay is usually 2 to 3 days, with the
catheter left in place for 2 to 3 weeks.
You're usually able to go back to work in about 1 month. You
shouldn't have severe pain with this surgery. Most men regain
bladder control a few weeks to several months after the surgery.
The main advantage of surgery is that it offers the most certain
treatment. That is, if all of the cancer is removed during surgery,
you are probably cured. Also, the surgery provides your doctor with
accurate information about how advanced your cancer is, since the
nearby lymph nodes are taken out along with the tumor.
Surgery does have risks. The main risks of radical prostatectomy are
incontinence (loss of bladder control) and impotence (loss of the
ability to get or keep an erection long enough to have sex). Most
bladder and impotence problems improve with time.
