Some issues Dr. Shahram S. Gholami, MD can help you with:

Radical Prostatectomy

Prostate cancer is uncommon in men under 40, but the risk of getting the disease significantly increases after the age of 50. If doctors suspect their patients have prostate cancer based on a physical exam or blood test results, he or she may recommend a biopsy. This diagnostic procedure collects tiny samples of tissue from the prostate, typically with the use of a special needle. The samples are then examined in a laboratory to determine whether any abnormal cells are present. Biopsies of the prostate are most often done transrectally, or through the rectum.

If a biopsy shows the presence of prostate cancer, doctors will discuss available options, such as watchful waiting, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. Together, the doctor and patient will develop a treatment plan that best fits the patients' condition. If a doctor recommends surgery, the patient will likely have a radical prostatectomy. There are three ways this prostate removal procedure can be performed:

Open radical prostatectomy, which uses a large incision, usually in the abdomen.
Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, which requires several small incisions in the stomach. A long, thin tube with a camera is inserted through one of the cuts. The surgeon uses this instrument to view the inside of the belly during the operation.
Robotic radical prostatectomy, which uses the above laparoscopic techniques but with the help of a robot.

While incisions for the laparoscopic and robotic approaches will always be on the lower abdomen, there are two possible incision locations for the open procedure. More commonly, the cut will start just below the belly button and end at the pubic bone. The other possible but less frequently used incision location is the area between the base of the scrotum and anus. After the cut is made, the surgeon will separate the prostate from the tissues surrounding it. Extra care will be taken to cause as little injury as possible to the blood vessels and nerves. Patients will wake up from surgery with a small pouch that drains fluids from the belly and a long tube that drains urine from the bladder.

Radical prostatectomy is recommended for cancer that is contained within the prostate. If cancer has spread to other parts of the body, non-surgical treatments like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or hormone therapy may be more appropriate.

The average hospital stay is one day for a laparoscopic or robotic radical prostatectomy, and one to three days for an open radical prostatectomy. Patients are advised to stay in bed until the morning following the operation. Strenuous activities like running and heavy lifting must be avoided for four to six weeks. Although radical prostatectomy aims to remove all of the cancer cells, patients will still need to see their doctor regularly after surgery to make sure that the cancer does not return.
