Prostate Cancer
The prostate is a small, walnut-shaped gland located in the pelvis of men, just below the bladder. It plays a crucial role in male reproduction by producing seminal fluid, which provides nourishment and a medium for transporting sperm, ensuring optimal conditions for fertility and reproduction.
Procedures
1.TRUS Biopsy:
Transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy is a diagnostic procedure used to collect tissue samples from the prostate for detecting cancer.
2.Tru-Cut Biopsy:
A precise biopsy method involving a needle to extract core tissue samples for detailed pathological analysis.
3.Radical Prostatectomy:
A surgical procedure to remove the entire prostate gland along with surrounding tissues to treat prostate cancer.
- Open Prostatectomy: A traditional surgical approach involving an incision in the lower abdomen.
- Laparoscopic Prostatectomy: A minimally invasive surgery using small incisions and a camera-guided approach.
4.Orchidectomy (Bilateral):
A surgical procedure to remove both testicles, typically performed to reduce testosterone levels and slow the progression of prostate cancer.
