Open Prostatectomy

Open prostatectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat an enlarged prostate gland that causes urinary problems. During the surgery, a surgeon makes an incision in the lower abdomen to remove or reduce parts of the prostate that are blocking urine flow. It’s typically recommended for large prostates or cases where other treatments haven't worked. The goal is to relieve symptoms like difficulty urinating, weak stream, or urinary retention. Recovery involves hospital stay and careful follow-up, and the procedure generally improves quality of life by restoring normal urination patterns.
