The prostate is a gland located below the bladder and surrounds the upper part of the urethra. It produces fluid that is part of semen. Men may face various health issues related to the prostate, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis (prostate inflammation), and prostate cancer.
Prostate surgery with endoscopic and plasma vaporization techniques is utilized to effectively and precisely treat prostate problems. These procedures are performed by specialized doctors using modern diagnostic and treatment techniques.
In endoscopic prostate surgery, a small camera (endoscope) is inserted through the urethra or rectum to guide the physician directly inside the prostate. Precision surgical tools are used to remove enlarged or cancerous tissues accurately.
In plasma vaporization, plasma heating technology is used to dissect and vaporize excess tissues in the prostate precisely, without the need for external incisions. This procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia.
Both procedures are effective in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and some cases of prostate cancer. They offer advantages such as shorter recovery periods and fewer surgical risks compared to traditional surgeries.
It is essential for the patient to consult with a specialized physician to determine the optimal treatment for their health condition and receive guidance and necessary information about available options. It is important for the patient to follow post-surgery care instructions and maintain overall health to ensure proper recovery and maintain prostate health.
