Prostatectomy, surgical removal of the prostate gland, is performed primarily for prostate cancer that is confined to the gland, aiming to remove the cancer completely while it is still curable. The decision to proceed with surgery, as opposed to radiation or active surveillance, depends on the cancer's grade, stage, PSA level, and the patient's age and overall health.

Signs You May Need Prostatectomy

Prostate cancer is frequently found through routine PSA screening or digital rectal exam before symptoms develop, which is why regular checkups after age 50 are important. When present, symptoms can include difficulty urinating, a weak stream, blood in the urine or semen, or pelvic discomfort, though these overlap significantly with benign prostate enlargement and require proper diagnostic workup.

Types of Prostatectomy

Open (retropubic) prostatectomy removes the prostate through a lower abdominal incision, providing direct access for the surgeon. Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted prostatectomy use small incisions and magnified 3D visualization for precise removal with less blood loss, and robotic surgery in particular has become widely favored for its ability to help preserve the nerves responsible for erectile function when the cancer allows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between open, laparoscopic, and robotic prostatectomy?

All three achieve the same goal of removing the prostate, but laparoscopic and robotic approaches use smaller incisions for less blood loss and typically faster recovery, while robotic surgery adds enhanced precision through magnified 3D vision and articulating instruments.

Will I regain full bladder control after prostatectomy?

Most men regain good urinary control within several months with pelvic floor exercises, though a small percentage experience longer-term incontinence, which your urologist can address with additional treatment if needed.

How is my cancer stage determined before choosing prostatectomy?

PSA levels, biopsy results (Gleason score), and imaging studies together help your urologic oncologist determine whether the cancer is confined to the prostate and appropriate for surgical removal.

What is the recovery timeline after prostatectomy?

Hospital stay is typically two to five days, with a urinary catheter for one to two weeks afterward, and most men return to normal activities within four to eight weeks.

Will I need additional treatment after prostatectomy?

This depends on the final pathology report; if cancer is found at the surgical margins or has spread to nearby tissue, your oncology team may recommend radiation or hormone therapy afterward.
