Radical prostatectomy

Nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy is a treatment approach available to us for the surgical treatment of prostate cancer that guarantees a high degree of functional competence through high therapeutic efficiency: So that the anatomical structures responsible for erection and continence can be preserved in the best possible way. This procedure is performed using state-of-the-art technology - with the help of robot-assisted surgery. It uses minimally invasive approaches (laparoscopy - keyhole technique). In individual cases, there is also the option of open surgery (with an abdominal incision).

The radical, complete removal of the prostate with seminal vesicles and part of the vas deferens is a curative treatment method for prostate cancer. The prostate is separated from the bladder and removed. Once the prostate has been removed, the bladder is reconnected to the urethra. In most cases, this prevents subsequent urinary leakage. In the first few days after the operation, a catheter inserted through the urethra into the bladder ensures safety and trouble-free healing of the newly created connection between the urethra and bladder. Depending on the extent of the carcinoma, there is a good chance of preserving the nerves around the prostate that are necessary for an erection.
