What is surgical treatment?
The operation involves the removal of the entire prostate gland, including the adjacent anatomical structures. Surgical incision is usually made just above the symphysis pubis. The urethra then connects with the bladder. This operation is called a prostatectomy. Soon after the procedure, the PSA concentration should be close to zero. The most common side effects of prostatectomy include erectile and ejaculation disorders, urinary incontinence, and stricture of the bladder-urethral anastomosis, which can lead to urinary retention.
