Prostate Surgery

Prostate surgery is a medical procedure that is performed to treat an enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, or other conditions that affect the prostate gland. The prostate gland is located below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. When the prostate gland becomes enlarged, it can cause a variety of uncomfortable and potentially dangerous symptoms, such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and urinary tract infections.

Prostate surgery is a common treatment option for men with an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer. The procedure may involve removing part or all of the prostate gland, depending on the extent of the condition and the patient’s individual needs.
