Prostate surgery is a medical procedure used to remove or destroy part or all of the prostate gland, usually due to prostate cancer. The most common type is Radical Prostatectomy where the entire gland is removed. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy uses a robot to assist in minimally invasive surgery. Other options include Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia, and radiation therapy or cryotherapy for cancer.
