Prostatectomy: History, Applications & Art

Prostatectomy (from the Greek προστάτης prostátēs, 'prostate' and ἐκτομή ektomē, 'excision') is the surgical removal of all or part of the prostate gland. This operation is done for benign conditions that cause urinary retention as well as for prostate cancer and for other cancers of the pelvis.
