Robotic prostatectomy
A prostatectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the prostate gland. Abnormalities of the prostate, such as a tumour, or if the gland itself becomes enlarged for any reason, can restrict the normal flow of urine along the urethra.
There are several forms of the operation:
- Transurethral resection of the prostate
- Open Prostatectomy
- Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy
- Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy
- Radical perineal prostatectomy
- Radical retropubic prostatectomy
- Transurethral plasmakinetic vaporization prostatectomy
