Surgeries for prostate diseases are divided into two main headings: benign prostate enlargement and prostate cancer.
Surgical treatment for benign prostate enlargementis generally known as closed prostate surgery. The goal of closed prostate surgery is to enter through the urinary tract, clean the prostate tissue that puts pressure on the urinary tract and causes urination problems, and open the obstruction. Although different names and technologies are used, the procedure performed in closed prostate surgeries is basically the same.
Techniques;
TURP - Transurethral Prostate Resection (Monopolar / Bipolar / Plasmakinetic) surgery is a closed prostate surgery method that has been applied for approximately 50 years and is based on the newly developed plasmakinetic technology. It is done more safely than in previous years. Patients can recover and be discharged from the hospital in a short time after the surgery.
HoLEP (Prostate Enucleation with Holmium Laser)
As in resection, the main purpose is to create a urinary canal that will relieve urine flow. Here, the prostate tissue is separated from the surrounding membrane with the help of a laser and thrown into the urinary bladder (bladder), and then it is broken down and taken out with the help of special devices in the bladder.
Evaporation of the Prostate: This The aim of the method is to vaporize prostate tissues using laser energy. Vaporization of the tissue is achieved by delivering focused high energy into the prostate.
In surgical treatment for prostate cancer, the main goal is to remove the cancerous prostate tissue together with the membrane surrounding it, called the capsule. In surgery for prostate cancer, the seminal vesicle and often the lymph nodes in the groin area are removed. Prostate surgery for cancer can be performed with open, laparoscopic or robotic techniques. All three methods are similar in terms of oncological control and long-term postoperative erection and urinary incontinence problems.
