Prostate surgery refers to a range of surgical procedures aimed at treating conditions affecting the prostate gland, which is located just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra.
A The prostate is a small gland about the size of a walnut that plays a crucial role in male reproductive health. It produces seminal fluid, which nourishes and transports sperm. As men age, the prostate can undergo changes that may lead to various health issues, including
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) A non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause urinary problems.
Prostate Cancer A malignant growth in the prostate that may require surgical intervention depending on its aggressiveness and stage.
Prostatitis Inflammation of the prostate, which can cause pain and discomfort but is generally not a surgical condition
This minimally invasive procedure involves the removal of prostate tissue using a resectoscope inserted through the urethra. TURP is often performed for BPH and is effective in relieving urinary symptoms.
This procedure uses laser energy to remove or shrink excess prostate tissue. It is a minimally invasive option for treating BPH and may result in less bleeding and quicker recovery.
A treatment method that involves freezing cancer cells in the prostate to kill them. It is typically used for localized prostate cancer.
A form of laparoscopic surgery where the surgeon uses robotic instruments to perform the procedure with enhanced precision. This approach is often used for radical prostatectomy and can lead to quicker recovery times and less postoperative pain.
Infections can occur at the incision site or in the urinary tract. Antibiotics may be given to reduce this risk.
Some bleeding is expected during surgery, but excessive bleeding may require additional treatment.
Some patients may experience temporary or, in rare cases, permanent urinary incontinence following surgery.
At TAH Global Healthcare, we take every precaution to minimise these risks by employing the latest surgical techniques and providing personalised care for each patient.
A thorough evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies (such as MRI or CT scans), is conducted to assess the condition and suitability for surgery
Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all medications and supplements they are taking. Certain medications, especially blood thinners, may need to be adjusted before surgery.
Quitting smoking and maintaining a healthy diet can improve surgical outcomes and recovery.
Patients should plan for someone to assist them during the recovery period, especially in the first few days following surgery.
Prostate surgery is typically performed under general or regional anaesthesia, depending on the procedure and patient preferences.
The surgeon makes an incision based on the type of surgery. For open surgeries, a larger incision may be made in the lower abdomen, while laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures involve several small incisions.
The surgeon carefully removes the prostate gland or the targeted tissue while preserving surrounding structures when possible. Techniques will vary based on the specific type of surgery performed.
After the procedure is completed, the surgeon closes the incisions using sutures or staples. A catheter may be placed in the bladder to facilitate urination during the initial recovery period.
Patients are moved to a recovery area for monitoring as they awaken from anaesthesia.
After recovering from prostate surgery, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and attending regular follow-up appointments are essential for long-term prostate health. Patients are encouraged to engage in regular exercise, with low-impact activities like walking and swimming to strengthen the pelvic floor and boost overall health.
Vigilant symptom monitoring is also important, with any new or worsening symptoms reported promptly to a healthcare provider. Regular check-ups with a urologist are key to tracking recovery and addressing any concerns that may arise. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can support overall health and prostate function.
