prostate gland is removed through an incision in the area
between anus and scrotum(perineum). It is typically
performed to remove early prostate cancer.
2. SUPRA PUBIC PROSTATECTOMY: is a surgical procedure
wherein the prostate gland is removed through an incision
in the lower abdomen , above pubic bone. An incision is
made in the bladder and centre of the prostate gland is
