Because traditional surgeries are tiring and have a long recovery period
Some advantages of laparoscopic surgery over conventional surgery:
Traditional prostate surgery is through:
Creating a long incision along the middle of the abdomen
The recovery period is long.
🔸 But laparoscopic surgery does not require a long incision of this type.
- Therefore, the resulting pain is less.
The healing process is faster and the probability of pollution is less.
The amount of blood that a person loses is less.
Get rid of urinary catheters faster.
How does endoscopic prostate surgery work through the urethra:
The operation is performed by general anesthesia or by mid-anesthesia by injecting the drug into the spinal cord.
- The process of prostatectomy is performed through the urethra channel using a medical endoscope, which is inserted through the urethra to the location of the prostate.

- This telescope contains a source of lighting and a camera so that the vision is clear and a wire through which an electric current is passed to heat it and then cut off the troublesome prostate parts.
- Amounts of water are pumped through the endoscope during the operation to rinse the removed prostate parts.
It takes approximately 60 minutes for the prostatectomy to take place through the urethra channel and may be increased or shortened according to the size of the parts to be removed.
Then the patient returns to his room to recover from the operation.
