LAPAROSCOPIC RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY
Laparoscopic Radical prostatatectomy also known as keyhole surgery for prostate cancer involves removal of the entire prostate and seminal vesicles through tiny holes made on the tommy.
This procedure is curative for early prostate cancer.
Usually before the procedure, the Urologist will request you do investigations like Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), Bone scan and some times PSMA PET Scan. This is very necessary to help determine the stage of the prostate cancer. Recent studies has also shown that the procedure is also helpful for patients with stage 3 prostate cancer as well.
Radical Prostatectomy remains the best option for tackling early prostate cancer. Other options of treatment for early prostate cancer include Radiotherapy and cryotherapy.
