Prostate surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed to treat conditions affecting the prostate gland, such as prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). There are several types of prostate surgeries, including transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), radical prostatectomy, robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, and transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT). The choice of surgery depends on the specific condition being treated, the severity of the condition, and the patient's overall health. Prostate surgery is typically performed by a urologist and can help alleviate symptoms, improve quality of life, and in some cases, cure prostate cancer.
