Prostate Surgery

At Synovia Health, we understand that facing prostate surgery can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re considering surgery due to prostate cancer, an enlarged prostate (BPH), or other health concerns, our compassionate team is here to guide you through every step of the journey.

What is Prostate Surgery?

Prostate surgery is a medical procedure aimed at treating conditions affecting the prostate gland. It is commonly recommended for individuals dealing with prostate cancer or severe benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which can cause urinary problems and discomfort.

Types of Prostate Surgery

Depending on your specific condition, your doctor may suggest one of the following procedures:

1. Radical Prostatectomy

This surgery is performed to remove the entire prostate gland, typically to treat prostate cancer. It can be done using traditional open surgery or minimally invasive robotic-assisted techniques for quicker recovery and reduced complications.

2. Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)

TURP is a common procedure for treating an enlarged prostate (BPH). It involves removing excess prostate tissue to improve urine flow and relieve symptoms.

3. Laser Prostate Surgery

This technique uses laser energy to shrink or remove excess prostate tissue, offering a less invasive alternative with shorter recovery time.

4. Prostate Cryotherapy

In this procedure, extreme cold is used to freeze and destroy cancer cells in the prostate, offering a less invasive treatment option.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from prostate surgery varies depending on the type of procedure performed. Patients can generally expect:

• Hospital stay of 1-3 days (for major surgeries)
• Use of a catheter for a short period post-surgery
• Gradual return to normal activities within a few weeks
• Follow-up appointments to monitor progress and healing

Our experts at Synovia Health provide personalized post-surgery care, ensuring you recover comfortably and with the best outcomes.
