Laparoscopic Prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the prostate gland in men diagnosed with prostate cancer. During this surgery, the doctor makes small incisions in the abdomen and uses a camera and special instruments to perform the operation. This approach typically results in less pain, quicker recovery, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery.
After the procedure, patients usually stay in the hospital for a short time and can return to normal activities faster. While there may be some risks, many men find that laparoscopic prostatectomy effectively treats their cancer while preserving quality of life.
