Radical Prostatectomy in Dubai

Radical prostatectomy is a surgical procedure used to treat localized prostate cancer. The surgery involves removing the entire prostate gland, which is a small gland located below the bladder in men. In addition to the prostate gland, some surrounding tissues and nearby lymph nodes may also be removed during the procedure.

The type of radical prostatectomy procedure used depends on various factors such as the patient’s overall health, the extent of the cancer, and the surgeon’s preference and experience. The goal of the surgery is to remove the cancerous prostate gland and any surrounding cancerous tissue while preserving urinary and sexual function.

Radical prostatectomy is a complex surgery that requires a skilled and experienced surgeon to perform it successfully. It is generally considered a safe and effective treatment option for localized prostate cancer, with a high cure rate. However, as with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, including bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding organs.

If you are considering radical prostatectomy as a treatment option for prostate cancer, it is important to discuss the procedure’s benefits and risks with your doctor and consult with an experienced surgeon. The German Medical Center in Dubai offers a team of specialists who are dedicated to providing personalized care and advanced treatment options for prostate cancer, including open radical prostatectomy or laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

If you are considering a prostate radical prostatectomy as a treatment option for prostate cancer, there are several important factors to consider. These factors include:  
  1. Cancer stage and grade: The stage and grade of your prostate cancer will determine whether a prostatectomy is a viable treatment option for you. Prostatectomy is typically recommended for early-stage prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the prostate gland.
  2. Overall health: Your overall health and medical history will be assessed to determine if you are a suitable candidate for surgery. Your doctor will evaluate your age, any pre-existing medical conditions, and medications you are taking to ensure that you are healthy enough to undergo surgery.
  3. Potential side effects: Prostatectomy can cause side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and bowel problems. Discussing these potential side effects with your doctor can help you understand the risks and benefits of the surgery and make an informed decision about your treatment.
  4. Surgical approach: There are different surgical approaches to prostatectomy, including open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted techniques. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of technique depends on the patient's unique situation and the surgeon's expertise.
  5. Surgeon's experience: The success of prostatectomy largely depends on the surgeon's experience and skill. It is essential to choose a surgeon who is experienced in performing prostatectomies and has a high success rate.
  6. Recovery time: Prostatectomy is a major surgery, and recovery time can vary depending on the surgical approach and individual patient factors. It is important to discuss recovery time with your doctor and make arrangements for post-surgery care and support.
  Overall, radical prostatectomy treatment is a well-established and an effective option for localized prostate cancer. By considering the above factors and consulting with an experienced medical team, you can make an informed decision about whether prostatectomy is the right treatment option for you. The German Medical Center in Dubai offers personalized care and advanced treatment options for prostate cancer, including prostatectomy, and can provide guidance and support throughout your treatment journey.
Radical prostatectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove the entire prostate gland, along with the surrounding tissues, in order to treat prostate cancer. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and can be done in several ways, including:  
  1. Open radical prostatectomy: In this procedure, the surgeon makes a large incision in the lower abdomen to access the prostate gland.
  2. Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: In this procedure, several small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope (a thin, lighted tube with a camera attached) is inserted through one of the incisions. The surgeon uses special instruments to remove the prostate gland.
  3. Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery: This is similar to laparoscopic surgery, but the surgeon uses a robotic system to control the instruments.
  Regardless of the approach used, the surgical steps involved in a radical prostatectomy include:  
  1. Removing the prostate gland: The surgeon carefully removes the prostate gland, along with the surrounding tissues, including the seminal vesicles and some nearby lymph nodes.
  2. Reconstructing the urinary tract: After the prostate gland is removed, the surgeon reconnects the bladder to the urethra to restore the normal flow of urine.
 
  1. Closing the incision: Once the surgery is complete, the surgeon closes the incision with sutures or staples.
  After radical prostatectomy, the patient may stay in the hospital for a few days to recover. Pain medication and antibiotics may be prescribed to help manage pain and prevent infection. It may take several weeks or months for the patient to fully recover from the surgery and regain normal urinary and sexual function.
