Description

Prostate surgery, or prostatectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove all or part of the prostate gland. It's typically performed to treat prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged prostate. Different types of prostate surgery exist, including open prostatectomy, laparoscopic prostatectomy, and robotic prostatectomy, each with varying levels of invasiveness and recovery times.
