Irving, Texas – Laparoscopic prostate surgery is a surgery that is carried out with the help of special cameras. Traditional prostate surgery is done by having a long incision at the center of the abdomen. But laparoscopic prostate surgery does not require a large incision since it’s minimally invasive. Patients who undergo laparoscopic prostate surgery experience less pain, fast recovery with minimal risks of infection.

“Laparoscopic prostate surgery involves small incisions in the belly using robotic arms that imitate the hand motions of the surgeon,” explained Dr. Echt. "It is a precise procedure that is minimally invasive. Laparoscopy treats prostate cancer effectively, like all the other surgical procedures."

Here are the advantages of laparoscopy over traditional surgery:

• The patient experiences less bleeding during the surgery.

• The hospital stay is shorter after surgery. Most prostate cancer patients are discharged the following day.

• The patient may not need to take prescription painkillers after leaving the hospital.

• Patients can go back to work or resume their normal activities in two to three weeks after laparoscopy.

• A week after surgery, the catheter that is draining the bladder will be removed if the patient shows no signs of any problems.

Laparoscopy is performed on patients whose prostate cancer is still localized. A small needle incision is made into the abdominal cavity of the patient. A small tube connected to the needle passes carbon dioxide to the abdomen to help lift the abdominal wall and allow the surgeon to see the abdominal cavity. The laparoscope transmits the prostate image onto a video monitor. Patients who have had pelvic surgery are not eligible for this procedure.

“Laparoscopy is a technique that is nerve-sparing and can help to compare the patient’s postoperative sexual potency rate with that of normal surgical procedure,” continued Dr. Echt. “Its early results are auspicious.
