Is Laparoscopy Necessary For Preventing Cancer From Spreading?

Laparoscopic surgery for treatment of prostate cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If prostate cancer is localized only to prostrate and surrounding lymph nodes, then he will be a good candidate for surgery.
If surgery is an option, then laparoscopic surgery is as effective as open surgery in the hands of an experienced laparoscopic surgeon.
Moreover, laparoscopic surgery has shorter recovery time and fewer side effects than traditional open radical prostatectomy.
Please discuss with your doctor to see your husband is a good surgical candidate.
If so, laparoscopic surgery is definitely a good option if an experienced laparoscopic surgeon is available.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
