Radical Prostatectomy

Radical Prostatectomy in Mukundapur

Radical Prostatectomy is a highly effective surgical procedure used to treat prostate cancer by removing the entire prostate gland along with surrounding tissues. It is primarily recommended for localized prostate cancer, where the disease is confined to the prostate. This procedure aims to eliminate cancer and prevent its spread, offering a strong chance of cure and improved quality of life.

Manipal Hospitals offers advanced Radical Prostatectomy in Mukundapur, Kolkata, with expert uro-oncologists and cutting-edge technology, ensuring precise surgery and excellent clinical outcomes.

Why is Radical Prostatectomy done?

This procedure is recommended to:

  • Treat localised prostate cancer

  • Remove cancerous tissue completely

  • Prevent the spread of cancer to surrounding organs

  • Improve long-term survival outcomes

  • Provide definitive treatment when cancer is confined to the prostate

If prostate cancer is not treated in time, it may spread to nearby tissues or distant organs, making treatment more complex. Early surgical intervention helps improve cure rates and long-term health outcomes.

What happens before Radical Prostatectomy?

Our medical team prepares you with:

  • Detailed evaluation including blood tests, imaging, and PSA levels

  • Assessment of cancer stage and overall health

  • Review of medical history and medications

  • Fitness evaluation for anaesthesia

  • Pre-operative instructions, including fasting and medication adjustments

  • Counselling regarding procedure, recovery, and possible side effects

What happens during Radical Prostatectomy?

Radical Prostatectomy is performed under general anaesthesia using one of the following approaches:

  • Open surgery with a single incision

  • Laparoscopic surgery using small incisions and specialised instruments

  • Robotic-assisted surgery using advanced systems for enhanced precision

During the procedure:

  • The prostate gland and seminal vesicles are removed

  • Nearby tissues may also be removed if required

  • The bladder is reconnected to the urethra

  • The procedure typically takes 2–4 hours, depending on complexity

What happens after Radical Prostatectomy?

After surgery, patients are monitored in the hospital for a few days. A urinary catheter is usually placed temporarily to aid healing and is removed after about 1–2 weeks. Mild discomfort, fatigue, or urinary changes may occur initially. Patients are advised to stay hydrated, walk regularly, and follow medical guidance. Most individuals resume light activities within a few weeks, while full recovery may take several weeks to months.
