The prostate is a part of the male genital organ. It is a gland whose function is to create and store one of the essential components of semen, called seminal fluid. It is located at the bottom of the bladder and around the channel that allows urine to flow from the bladder.
Furthermore, it is susceptible to a variety of disorders, the most prevalent of which is cancer. Benign hypertrophy, commonly known as prostatic adenoma, is the most frequent disease.

Why have prostate adenoma surgery?
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is characterized by an increase in the size of the prostate gland. This makes adenoma narrow towards the urethra and thus gene evacuating urine. If left untreated, this condition can lead to major complications such as urine retention, kidney difficulties, and urinary bleeding.
This is why urologists surgeons have developed a surgery that allows the resection and removal of the part that is causing the discomfort. It should be underlined, however, that this endoscopic ablation surgery may be the cause of potential prostate cancer.
What is prostate surgery?
Prostate surgery is an operation to cure problems in the prostate gland from adenoma to cancer. Surgery is reserved solely for the treatment of prostate adenoma. It is chosen as a remedy only if certain symptoms appear, such as:
- Urinary problems that are too bothersome and get worse despite the medication
- Bladder stones
- Repeated hematuria
- Repetitive urinary tract infections
- Renal failure
If the prostate gland is suffering from cancer, ablation is needed and resection of other tissues around as the seminal vesicles.
Types of surgeries in Istanbul
Prostate surgery in Istanbul Turkey can alleviate some problems and prevent others. There are different types and techniques of surgery. Some are used for cancer of the prostate gland and others to treat benign hypertrophy.
Radical prostatectomy
A prostatectomy or prostate removal is a surgical procedure that removes the prostate and other surrounding tissue. It is usually used to remove the tumor from the prostate and prevent it from spreading to other organs.
Depending on the type of surgical cut and the type of tumor, different ablation techniques are used :
- Retropubic prostatectomy
- Perineal prostatectomy
- Laparoscopic prostatectomy
Prostate planing
The planing of the prostate is done through endoscopic resection. It helps treat small or medium-sized adenomas. The operation is performed under general anesthesia by natural route by inserting a resector into the urethra.
Surgery by abdominal opening (adenomectomy transvesical)
Also called transvesical adenomectomy, abdominal opening surgery is, like prostate planing, used for benign hypertrophy problems. It is employed for adenomas with a large volume.
It is done under general anesthesia. The urological surgeon makes an incision below the abdomen so that the entire adenoma can be removed through an incision in the bladder.
Laser treatment
This technique is done without an abdominal opening. The surgeon naturally introduces a resector into the urethra. The intervention takes place under visual control.
The resector contains a channel that allows the introduction of fiber-carrying laser beams.
This laser light has two major functions: to cut the adenoma into pieces and to coagulate the vessels of the prostate. These pieces are then extracted from the bladder and sent to the lab for analysis.
Adverse effects of surgery
Following prostate surgery, several side effects can appear. They can be minor, but also disabling in some cases. Some side effects can be common to all surgeries, for example:
- Hematoma
- Pain in the operated part
- Infection
- Vein thrombosis
- Fatigue
However, others are directly related to prostatectomy or endoscopic resection of the prostate; for example :
- Urinary incontinence
- Erectile dysfunction
- Definitive inability to ejaculate in case of total prostatectomy
