Prostatectomy is a surgical procedure that removes all or part of the prostate gland. The prostate gland is located below the urinary bladder in the male pelvis. It encircles the urethra, which transports urine from the bladder to the penis. The treatment is used to treat a variety of prostate-related diseases. It is most typically used to treat prostate cancer. Depending on the disease, prostatectomy can be conducted in a variety of methods. Minimally invasive surgery with robotic aid and traditional open surgery are both options. In most situations, Mayo Clinic urologists treat enlarged prostate symptoms with advanced endoscopic procedures rather than open, laparoscopic, or robotic surgery. Prostatectomy is most commonly used to treat localized prostate cancer. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other treatments including as radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy.To treat men with localized prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy is surgery that removes the entire prostate gland and associated lymph nodes.
