a laparoscopic/robotic radical prostatectomy underwent hormonal therapy in more than 25% of cases after the procedure compared to an open radical prostatectomy [this is usually not...
Practice Essentials ; Prostate cancer remains the most common newly diagnosed cancer among men in the United States. [1] Although the incidence and mortality rates associated with prostate cancer have shown an overall declining trend, widespread screening and early diagnosis make the management of clinically localized prostate cancer an ongoing challenge. After Walsh et al popularized the technique of anatomic nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy, open radical prostate surgery became a more desirable treatment for organ-confined prostate cancer. ...

Overview ; A prostatectomy is a type of surgery in which a surgeon removes all or part of your prostate. Your prostate is a small gland that’s part of the male reproductive system. It surrounds the urethra, which is the tube through which semen (ejaculate) and urine (pee) flow out of your body. It contributes extra fluid to your ejaculate. Fluid (semen) from your prostate enters the urethra during ejaculation, and muscles surrounding the urethra squeeze (contract) to push semen out of the urethra when you orgasm. ...
