What is Prostate? Prostate is a gland situated under the bladder, in front of the rectum. This gland plays a crucial role in the male reproductive system that produces sperm carrying fluids. Prostatectomy Surgery for removal (partial or complete) of the prostate is referred to as prostatectomy. Doctors suggest his surgery for treating the following: - Prostate cancer - Enlarged prostate - Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) When it comes to the effective treatment of prostate cancer, you must focus on pretreatment learning as the first step to making a decision about treatment. Prostate surgery of all types can be done with general anesthesia. It puts the patient to sleep. Sometimes, doctors may also give spinal anesthesia, which numbs the lower half of a patient’s body. Anesthesia type will be recommended by the doctor based on the patient’s situation. Prostate Surgery Aims at: - Curing the condition - Maintaining urinary continence - Maintaining erection ab

Cancer of the prostate gland is termed as prostate cancer. A walnut-sized gland, prostate is present only in men within the pelvis and enclosed around the urethra (the tube responsible for throwing out urine from the body). The gland is also responsible for secreting some liquid part of the seminal fluid (carrying sperm produced by the testes). Semen is very essential for reproduction. Prostate cancer is known to be the most common type of cancer among men. Research says that this type of cancer accounts for the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men. The cancer is comprised of adenocarcinoma cells (those emerging from glandular tissue). Treatment Options Surgery is known to be one of the treatment options available presently for prostate cancer. Radical prostatectomy is the most common form of surgery for prostate cancer. It involves removal of prostate gland under general anesthesia. However, not everyone with prostate cancer require surgery. The treatment type rec

Robotic surgery can be defined as a type of minimally invasive surgery. The term “minimally invasive” indicates a procedure wherein large incisions are not made while operating on patients. Doctors use miniature versions of surgical instruments that precisely fit through a series of incisions measuring about a quarter-inch.   Best surgeon for robotic surgery performs surgery with the da Vinci Si, the most advanced surgical robot across the world. The tiny instruments are fixed on three robotic arms. This facilitates surgeon get maximum precision and motion range. The fourth arm of this robot comprises of an enlarged high-definition 3-D camera. This camera works towards guiding the surgeon and doctors during the entire procedure. The instruments and camera are controlled by surgeon through a console positioned in the operating room. The operating surgeon will place his fingers into master controls so that all of the four arms of robot can be used simultaneously while havi

PVP green light laser is an advanced treatment option available for enlarged prostate. It effectively treats symptoms related to urinary tract resulting from BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia). The technique involves the use of a special laser and scope combination device. Surgeon inserts this device into the urethra that travels through penis tip. As soon as the device locates the prostate surrounding the urethra, green light laser is used by surgeons to remove affected prostate tissue obstructing flow of urine. This laser emits very high energy which readily gets absorbed by blood present in the prostate. Thereafter, the tissue is vaporized. Since this laser seals blood vessels under treatment area, there is less loss of blood. Benefits of Green Light Laser for Treating Enlarged Prostate Also referred to as photosensitive vaporization of the prostate, PVP greenlight laser   for enlarged prostate ensures several advantages over traditional transurethral resection of the pros
