What is radical prostatectomy?

Hello! Please don't be too nervous. There is great hope for the cure of early prostate cancer. Radical prostatectomy is a surgical method to remove the whole prostate and its capsule, bilateral seminal vesicles, ampulla of bilateral vas deferens, bladder neck and regional lymph nodes. After removing the prostate and its surrounding tissues and structures, the bladder is reconnected with the remaining urethra.

This operation is mainly aimed at patients whose tumors are still in the prostate. Radical prostatectomy can adopt retropubic approach (umbilical to pubic margin incision), perineal approach and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. For patients with early tumor, taking traditional Chinese medicine before operation, such as taking 4~6 life-saving hormones every day, can reduce the tumor area and improve the success rate of operation; On the one hand, it can increase the tolerance of surgery and improve the quality of life of patients.
