Open Prostatectomy

After the age of 50 to 60 years, in some individuals, prostate tissue cells proliferate benignly. As part of the urinary tract passes through the prostate, this cell proliferation causes the prostate tissue to enlarge and press against the urinary channel, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, dribbling urine, nocturia, reduced urine flow, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.

Symptoms: Frequent urination, dribbling urine, nocturia, reduced urine flow, and a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying.

Treatment Method in the Hospital: Patients eligible for surgery may undergo two types of procedures depending on the prostate size:

Open Surgery: A small incision is made on the abdomen, the bladder is opened, and the benign prostate adenoma is removed using a special technique. A specialized catheter is placed, and after the surgery, the bladder is repaired, and the incision is closed. The catheter is kept in place for a week and then removed by the doctor.

Closed Surgery (TURP): Laser prostate resection via the urethra, suitable for smaller prostates (30 to 50 grams). During this procedure, the patient is anesthetized, and using a specialized device, the prostate tissue is gradually resected and removed within less than an hour. A Foley catheter is inserted at the end of the procedure.
