Prostatectomy – Advanced Surgical Care for Prostate Health
Expert Urological Treatment for Prostate Enlargement & Cancer
A prostatectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the prostate gland — most commonly performed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. At Grandville Medical & Laser, we provide precise, expert-led prostate surgery using modern techniques to ensure minimal complications, effective recovery, and restored quality of life.

When Is Prostatectomy Recommended?
You may be a candidate for prostatectomy if you have:
✅ Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) not responsive to medication
✅ Localized prostate cancer
✅ Urinary retention or recurrent urinary tract infections
✅ Bladder stones or kidney damage caused by prostate enlargement
✅ Difficulty passing urine or incomplete bladder emptying

Types of Prostatectomy We Offer
🔹 Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
- The most common surgery for BPH
- Performed using a scope through the urethra — no external incision
- Excess prostate tissue is removed to relieve urinary blockage
- Quick recovery and minimal bleeding
🔹 Open or Laparoscopic Prostatectomy
- Used for very large prostates or complex cases
- Involves an incision in the lower abdomen
- May be required if TURP is not feasible
🔹 Radical Prostatectomy
- Complete removal of the prostate gland for prostate cancer
- May involve nerve-sparing techniques to preserve sexual function
- Often combined with lymph node dissection
