Laparoscopic Prostatectomy

Laparoscopic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the prostate gland, typically to treat prostate cancer. Instead of a large open incision, surgeons make several small cuts in the abdomen and insert a tiny camera (laparoscope) along with specialized instruments. The camera provides a magnified view of the area, allowing precise removal of the prostate. This approach usually results in less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery. It’s an effective option for targeted removal of prostate tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding structures.
