During the Radical Prostatectomy procedure, you will be put under general anaesthesia. Dr Singh will make keyhole incisions in the abdomen, where he will insert surgical tools alongside a laparoscope to view the inside of your abdomen whilst performing the procedure. He will then remove the prostate, the seminal vesicles and two of the small fluid-filled sacs that are next to the prostate.

Dr Singh will then insert a special bag which will be used to remove the prostate and the other organs out of your abdomen. He will reattach your urethra to a part of your bladder neck. Dr Singh may also remove the lymph nodes for a biopsy to check for cancer. The incisions will be stitched or stapled closed.

You may need to stay in hospital for a few days after the surgery. A drain will be inserted at the site of surgery to drain excess fluid, and you will need a catheter to drain urine from the body while you heal.

After Radical Prostatectomy, you may experience pains near the site of the incision and will be required to stay in hospital for four days. A catheter will be inserted at the end of your penis into your urethra to drain urine while you heal. You will notice blood in your urine, which will be cleared by continuous water intake. The catheter will be removed after one to two weeks. Dr Singh will provide pain medication to relieve pain.
