We can guide you through the open prostatectomy procedure and support you throughout your recovery journey.
Open prostatectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the entire prostate gland, along with some surrounding tissues, to treat prostate cancer. An incision is made in the lower abdomen to access the prostate gland. The surgeon then carefully removes the prostate and surrounding tissues potentially containing cancer cells.
Open prostatectomy removes the entire prostate gland for advanced cancer or severe BPH. It's a traditional surgery with a longer recovery than newer options.
