1. Radical prostatectomy – A surgical procedure in which the entire prostate gland, along with some surrounding tissue, is removed. This is typically done through an incision in the lower abdomen.

2. Laparoscopic prostatectomy – A minimally invasive surgical procedure in which several small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope is used to remove the prostate gland.

3. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy – A minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a robotic system to assist with the removal of the prostate gland.

4. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) – A surgical procedure in which a portion of the prostate gland is removed through the urethra using a special instrument.

The choice of prostate surgery depends on several factors, including the size and location of the prostate gland, the stage and grade of the cancer (if present), and the patient’s overall health and medical history.

Prostate surgery can be associated with several potential risks and complications, including bleeding, infection, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and urinary retention. Recovery time and post-surgery care will depend on the type of surgery performed and the patient’s individual situation.

After prostate surgery, patients may need to take certain medications and make lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Follow-up care and monitoring will also be necessary to ensure that the cancer does not return and that the patient remains in good health.
