সংজ্ঞা

A prostatectomy is a surgery to remove the prostate gland. The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system. It makes and stores the milky fluid that forms part of semen. The gland sits below the bladder and in front of the rectum. The tube that urine flows out through also runs through the prostate.

The procedure may be:

  • Simple prostatectomy—removal of part of prostate
  • Radical prostatectomy—removal of entire prostate and some surrounding tissue

Prostatectomy 1

পদ্ধতির কারণ

A simple prostatectomy may be done to remove an enlarged prostate that is non-cancerous. A common cause of this type of growth is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It can interfere with the flow of urine out of the body. The surgery is done to allow urine to flow through again.

A radical prostatectomy may be done to remove a prostate gland containing cancer.

সম্ভাব্য জটিলতা

If you are planning to have a prostatectomy, your ডাক্তার একটি তালিকা পর্যালোচনা করবে সম্ভাব্য জটিলতা, যার মধ্যে অন্তর্ভুক্ত থাকতে পারে:

  • রক্তপাত
  • সংক্রমণ
  • Inability to control urinary stream (incontinence)
  • Inability to get an erection (impotence) and other sexual difficulties
  • Blood clots in the legs or lungs

পদ্ধতির আগে

Before surgery your doctor may do the following:

  • শারীরিক পরীক্ষা
  • রক্ত এবং প্রস্রাব পরীক্ষা
  • Chest x-ray
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG)—a test that records the heart’s activity by measuring electrical currents through the heart muscle
  • Ultrasound—a test that uses sound waves to visualize the inside of the body
  • Bone scan or CT scan, if your doctor is concerned about a spreading cancer

পদ্ধতি পর্যন্ত নেতৃত্ব:

  • আপনার ওষুধ সম্পর্কে আপনার ডাক্তারের সাথে কথা বলুন। পদ্ধতির এক সপ্তাহ আগে আপনাকে কিছু ওষুধ খাওয়া বন্ধ করতে বলা হতে পারে, যেমন:
    • অ্যাসপিরিন বা অন্যান্য প্রদাহ বিরোধী ওষুধ
    • রক্ত পাতলাকারী, যেমন ক্লোপিডোগ্রেল (প্লাভিক্স) বা ওয়ারফারিন (কুমাদিন)
  • The night before, have a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.

এনেস্থেশিয়া

General or spinal anesthesia will be used. With general anesthesia, you will be asleep. Spinal anesthesia will make a section of your body numb.

পদ্ধতির বর্ণনা

The procedure can be done as:

  • Open surgery—incision is made in the skin to allow the doctor to see the prostate
  • Laparoscopic surgery—only very small incisions are needed; the surgery is done with specialized tools and a tiny camera that is passed through the incisions
  • Robot-assisted surgery—similar to laparoscopic with use of small incisions but the surgery is done with robotic tools that the surgeon controls

Simple Prostatectomy

An incision is made in the lower abdomen. The doctor will be able to see the prostate through this incision. The inner part of your prostate gland will then be removed. This procedure is not as common in the United States. It is considered when you have a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate.

Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy

An incision will be made in the lower abdomen between the belly button and pubic bone. The prostate gland and pelvic lymph nodes will be visible through this incision. The prostate will be detached from the bladder and urethra. The urethra is then re-attached to the bladder. A main goal of treatment is to try to preserve nerve function related to bladder function and erections. Lymph node tissue may also be removed for testing. Your doctor may use these test results to decide whether or not to remove more tissue.

Perineal Radical Prostatectomy

An incision is made in the skin between your anus and your scrotum. The prostate can be detached and removed through this incision. This is a less common surgical option because of some limits such as:

  • Lack of access to the lymph nodes
  • Higher risk of nerve damage

Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (RALRP)

Five small, keyhole incisions are made in the abdomen. Robotic arms and a small camera will be passed through these incisions. The robotic tools allow wider and more flexible range of motion. The robotic arms will be controlled by a doctor at a console. The prostate and other tissue will be cut out with these robotic arms. This type of procedure may cause less scarring than other methods.

পদ্ধতির পরে

A catheter tube will be inserted to drain your bladder. Water may be flushed through the catheter to reduce blood in the urine.

The catheter may be left in place for up to 3 weeks. This will let you urinate more easily during the healing period. After a radical prostatectomy, a drain may also be placed to help fluid drain from the surgery site.

কতক্ষণ এটা লাগবে?

  • Simple prostatectomy—2-4 hours
  • Radical prostatectomy—2-4 hours

এটা আঘাত করবে?

Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You can expect some pain and discomfort for:

The usual length of stay is 2-3 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
