Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer

A laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that is commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer. The goal of the surgery is to remove part or all of the prostate gland, along with any nearby lymph nodes that might also contain cancerous cells. However, if a patient’s cancer has spread beyond the local lymph nodes, a different operation may be more effective.

To perform a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, a surgeon will use a series of small incisions (typically in the abdomen, but sometimes in the perineum) to access the patient’s prostate. Then, a thin tube with a camera at the end will be used to guide the surgical removal of the prostate gland and lymph nodes.

When possible, surgeons often use minimally invasive, laparoscopic techniques (rather than traditional, open techniques) while performing a prostatectomy. That’s because laparoscopic prostate surgery provides a number of benefits, including:

  • Shorter recovery times
  • Smaller incisions and less scarring
  • Less pain and fewer complications
  • A higher postoperative quality of life
