Why there is need of Prostate Surgery?

The prostate gland is located in the male pelvis, below the urinary bladder. It carries urine from the bladder to the penis. Prostatectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove prostate gland partially or completely.

Prostate surgery is generally recommended for men having severe urinary complications and enlarged prostate glands. The enlargement of prostate glands is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In simple prostatectomy, only obstructive part of the prostate which is blocking the flow of urine is removed. Whereas in radical prostatectomy, the complete prostate gland is removed. It can be performed open or robotically.

Symptoms of as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH):

• A frequent, urgent need to urinate
• Difficulty starting urination
• Slow (prolonged) urination
• Increased urination frequency at night (nocturia)
• Stopping and starting again while urinating
• The feeling you can’t completely empty your bladder
• Urinary tract infections
• Inability to urinate
