Prostatectomy :
Prostatectomy is a surgical procedure that is performed to remove part or all of the prostate gland. The prostate gland is a small gland that is seen in the male reproductive system. The three types of prostatectomy are open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic-assisted prostatectomy. When there is prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatectomy is advised. This procedure of prostatectomy will be carried out under general anesthesia, then an incision will be made, and in case of robotic surgery, smaller incisions will be made, and then the prostate gland will be removed. High-grade prostate cancer needs to be treated with prostatectomy. The complications that can be observed after the prostatectomy will be infection, blood clots, healing problems, anesthesia risks, fluid buildup at the surgical site, and other risks, including erectile dysfunction, depression, incontinence, little or no ejaculation, and penile atrophy. The recovery from the surgery can take 2 to 3 weeks.
