Prostatectomy is a surgical procedure to remove part or all of the prostate gland. It is commonly performed to treat prostate cancer or severe prostate enlargement (BPH) when other treatments do not provide sufficient relief.
At Medisure Surgery Care, prostatectomy is performed using advanced and minimally invasive techniques to ensure safe surgery, minimal discomfort, and faster recovery for our patients.
What Is Prostatectomy?
The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder in men. When it becomes cancerous or severely enlarged, surgery may be required to remove it partially or completely.
Prostatectomy helps relieve chronic urinary problems and, in cancer cases, removes the diseased tissue completely to prevent further spread.
Types of Prostatectomy
- Radical Prostatectomy: Complete removal of the prostate gland, usually performed for prostate cancer.
- Simple Prostatectomy: Removal of the inner part of the prostate to relieve urinary blockage in cases of severe BPH.
- Minimally Invasive / Laparoscopic Prostatectomy: Performed through small incisions, often using robotic assistance, for faster healing and less scarring.
Who Needs Prostatectomy?
A urologist may recommend a prostatectomy if:
- You have been diagnosed with localized prostate cancer.
- You have a severely enlarged prostate not responding to medications.
- You experience repeated episodes of urinary retention.
- There is evidence of bladder or kidney damage due to chronic prostate obstruction.
Symptoms That May Require Surgery
- Difficulty passing urine or a delayed start.
- Weak or interrupted urine stream.
- Frequent urination, especially during the night (nocturia).
- Inability to empty the bladder completely.
- Presence of blood in the urine (in some cases).
How Is Prostatectomy Performed?
Our surgical process follows standard safety protocols:
- The procedure is done under general or spinal anesthesia.
- Surgeons use either a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) or open surgical approach depending on the case complexity.
- Diseased or obstructive prostate tissue is carefully removed while preserving surrounding nerves where possible.
- Hospital stay typically ranges from 1 to 3 days.
Recovery After Prostatectomy
- A temporary urinary catheter is usually placed for a few days to assist healing.
- Patients notice a gradual but significant improvement in urine flow.
- Mild discomfort is normal but improves quickly with prescribed medication.
- Most patients return to normal activities within a few weeks.

Yes. Prostatectomy is a safe and highly effective procedure when performed by experienced urological surgeons. Modern surgical techniques have significantly reduced risks and improved long-term recovery outcomes. At Medisure Surgery Care, patient safety and post-surgery support are always our top priorities.
