Radical Prostatectomy
Curative surgical removal of the prostate for localized prostate cancer.
Curing Prostate Cancer
A Radical Prostatectomy is the complete surgical removal of the entire prostate gland and seminal vesicles. It is the gold-standard curative treatment for men whose prostate cancer is localized (has not spread).
Dr. Athar Hameed utilizes advanced, nerve-sparing surgical techniques. The dual goals are oncological clearance (removing all the cancer) and functional preservation (saving the nerves that control continence and erections).
Surgical Priorities
1. Cancer Clearance
The absolute primary goal is the complete removal of malignant tissue with negative surgical margins.
2. Nerve-Sparing
Delicately dissecting the neurovascular bundles away from the prostate to preserve erectile function.
3. Urethral Anastomosis
Meticulously reconnecting the bladder to the urethra to ensure rapid return of urinary continence.
4. Lymph Node Dissection
Removing surrounding pelvic lymph nodes for pathological testing in higher-risk cancers.
