Radical Prostatectomy
Radical Prostatectomy: Treating Localized Prostate Cancer
Radical prostatectomy removes the prostate and seminal vesicles to treat localized prostate cancer. It is performed laparoscopically, a minimally invasive technique.
What is Radical Prostatectomy?
When cancer is confined to the prostate, removing it completely offers very good chances of cure. The surgeon removes the prostate and seminal vesicles, then reconnects the bladder to the urethra. Depending on the stage, lymph nodes may also be removed, and the erectile nerves are preserved whenever possible.
Multidisciplinary Care
Your file is discussed by a team of surgeons and oncologists. The price shown is a starting price: it is confirmed after the file review, depending on the stage and extent of surgery. Follow-up after you return home is coordinated with your usual oncologist.
When is Radical Prostatectomy used?
The indication is confirmed after reviewing your complete medical file: prostate biopsy with pathology report, PSA level, prostate MRI and, if done, staging scans. The file is reviewed by the medical team, who confirm that surgery is the right treatment for your situation.

Frequently asked questions

General anesthesia.
Duration
About 2 to 4 hours.
What happens after treatment?
Hospital stay of 2 to 4 nights. A urinary catheter stays in for 7 to 10 days. Flying home is usually possible once the catheter is removed, 10 to 14 days after surgery.
How long do results last?
The pathology results of the removed prostate guide the next steps of care. Urinary control returns gradually over weeks to months; erectile function can take longer to recover.
