Prostate surgery is a procedure performed to treat conditions affecting the prostate gland, most commonly Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and Prostate Cancer. These conditions can cause symptoms like difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying. Depending on the severity and underlying cause, prostate surgery options include Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP), Laser Prostate Surgery, and Radical Prostatectomy.
At Dr. Atul Singal's Comprehensive Care Clinic, Dr. Atul Singal, Senior Consultant Urologist and Uro-oncologist, specializes in these procedures, utilizing minimally invasive techniques to enhance recovery and patient outcomes.
TURP is a minimally invasive procedure that involves removing part of the prostate gland through the urethra, relieving symptoms caused by BPH. It is considered the gold standard for prostate surgery in BPH cases. Dr. Singal uses advanced TURP techniques to reduce discomfort, improve recovery time, and enhance urinary function for patients.
A Radical Prostatectomy is the complete removal of the prostate gland, typically performed to treat localized prostate cancer. The procedure can be done through open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted methods. Dr. Singal carefully assesses each case to determine the best surgical approach, aiming for effective cancer control and optimal recovery.
Laser Prostate Surgery, such as HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate), uses laser energy to remove obstructive prostate tissue with minimal bleeding. This method is particularly effective for larger prostates and offers faster recovery and shorter hospital stays. Dr. Singal's expertise in laser techniques ensures that patients receive a precise, efficient treatment.
