Prostate surgery. Artwork of a man in silhouette on an operating table showing methods for prostate removal (prostatectomy). The prostate (outlined in yellow) is a gland in the male that secretes part of the seminal fluid. Removal is necessary in cases of enlarged prostate or prostate cancer. Arrows show possible routes of access to the prostate. Transurethral access is through the urethra (red arrow) in the penis. Surgery may be performed by a cut in the perineum (orange,up arrow). Abdominal wall incision (left down arrow) is a further method. Finally,the cut may be made in the bladder (right down arrow) | |
