About Radical Prostatectomy

Radical prostatectomy is a major surgical procedure performed by a urologist to completely remove the prostate gland and surrounding tissues, typically as a curative treatment for localized prostate cancer. This operation aims to eradicate cancer cells before they spread beyond the prostate. Modern techniques, such as robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery, allow for greater precision, smaller incisions, and potentially faster recovery. The procedure is a cornerstone of urologic oncology and is recommended after a thorough evaluation confirms the cancer is confined to the prostate. Patients undergo this surgery with the goal of achieving long-term cancer control while preserving urinary and sexual function as much as possible.
