What is Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy Surgery?

Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (LRP) is a cutting-edge surgical technique that involves the removal of the prostate gland and its surrounding tissues. The surgery is done through small incisions in the abdomen.

Laparoscopic prostate removal is performed by highly skilled surgeons using a camera and specialized instruments. The laparoscopic radical prostatectomy procedure is designed to be less invasive than a traditional open surgery to treat prostate cancer.

Why is Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy Surgery Performed?

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, or LRP, is performed primarily for the following reasons:
  • Prostate Cancer: It is typically used to treat localized prostate cancer, where the cancer is confined to the prostate gland and has not spread to other parts of the body.
  • Disease Management: For patients whose cancer is deemed aggressive or has a high risk of progression, LRP can help in managing and potentially curing the disease.
  • Symptom Relief: In some cases, it may also be performed to alleviate symptoms caused by prostate cancer, such as urinary obstruction.

How is Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy Surgery Performed?

Before a laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, your surgeon will meet with you to answer any questions you may have. You will be asked about your health history, and your doctor will give you a general physical exam.

  • Preparation: If your intestine needs cleaning, you will be prescribed a laxative medicine the evening before the surgery. All patients are asked for a blood sample.  Moreover, depending on your age and general health, you may also have an EKG, a chest X-ray, lung function tests, or other tests to check your body’s ability to handle the stress of surgery.
  • Anesthesia: You will meet with an anesthesiologist who will discuss the type of anesthesia you will receive for the surgery. You will also receive information about post-operative pain control, which may involve using a PCA (patient-controlled analgesia) pump.
  • Incision and Access: Instead of making a large incision, the surgeon will make several small incisions in your abdomen, typically around 0.5 to 1 cm each. One of these incisions is used to insert a laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera, to provide a magnified view of the surgical area.
  • Surgical Procedure: During the surgery, the doctor will make small incisions using specialized instruments to remove the prostate gland and surrounding tissues. These may include the seminal vesicles and sometimes nearby lymph nodes. The surgeon monitors the procedure on a video monitor connected to the laparoscope.
  • Completion: Once the prostate is removed, the surgeon may place a drainage tube to remove excess fluid. The small incisions are then closed with sutures or surgical glue.
  • Recovery: The minimally invasive nature of LRP typically allows for a quicker recovery compared to open surgery. Patients may experience less pain, reduced blood loss, and shorter hospital stays.

FAQ

Who is the best laparoscopic surgery prostate cancer doctor near me?
At Tirtham Surgical Hospital, we have a team of expert prostate specialists headed by Dr. Alpesh Patel. With more than ten years of experience in both laparoscopic and general surgeries, Dr. Patel is highly regarded for his proficiency in prostate care.
  • Start with a liquid diet, then gradually introduce solid foods.
  • At home, follow a soft diet, avoiding raw fruits and vegetables.
  • Consult a dietitian for specific guidelines.
  • Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of temporary intestinal issues caused by anesthesia. Medications can help, and symptoms should improve in a few days.
  • Start walking as much as possible from the first day after surgery.
  • Gradually increase activity.
  • Avoid lifting over 30 pounds and abdominal exercises (e.g., sit-ups) for six weeks.
Costs vary widely based on treatment type, hospital, insurance coverage, and additional services. It’s important to discuss financial considerations with the hospital’s financial services department.
Risks can include bleeding, infection, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and injury to surrounding organs.
After LRP, some patients might experience inflammation or irritation in the prostate area, which could be mistaken for prostatitis symptoms. However, this is typically due to the surgical procedure rather than an infection or typical prostatitis.
As a result of LRP, you may have less pain and scarring after surgery, faster recovery, and less risk of infection. Laparoscopy for prostate removal is a common procedure.
A prostatectomy typically lasts about two hours, during which you will be under general anesthesia, ensuring that you are completely asleep. Your doctor will make a small incision to access your prostate during the surgery.

If the patient is still experiencing side effects several weeks or months after prostate cancer surgery, these may be long-lasting. Some long-term side effects of prostatectomy include:

  • Bleeding.
  • Urinary tract infection.
  • Urinary incontinence.
  • Erectile dysfunction (impotence)
  • Narrowing of the urethra or bladder neck.
  • Formation of cysts containing lymph (lymphocele)
Among expert surgeons, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy has a slightly higher intraoperative complication rate compared with open radical prostatectomy. This challenges the claim that it is a more minimally invasive procedure.

Robotic prostate cancer surgery is extremely safe in experienced hands, but some complications are possible in any abdominal procedure. Possible complications may include:

  • Bleeding, 
  • Infection, 
  • Blood clotting, 
  • Heart attack, 
  • Hernias, 
  • Permanent urinary incontinence, 
  • Impotence, and 
  • Strictures.
