Plasma Kinetic Method in Prostate Surgery

How is Plasma Kinetic Prostate Surgery Applied?

Plasma Kinetic prostate surgery is performed in cases where the prostate cannot be treated with medication. Plasma Kinetic prostate surgery is a closed surgery method.

The prostate is an organ made up of a small gland that is part of the male reproductive system. The prostate gland is the size of a walnut and is located under the bladder and in front of the rectum. The prostate also takes sperm from the testicles when it comes to ejaculation during sexual intercourse and is a gland that helps produce some of the fluids in semen.

It usually occurs in most middle-aged men, as the prostate gland is an organ that tends to enlarge in some cases. Since Prostatic Hyperplasia does not cause any symptoms, annual prostate examination is recommended.

What is Prostatic Hyperplasia?

As a natural aging process, the prostate gland in men generally begins to enlarge after the age of 40, and this enlargement is called benign prostatic hyperplasia, in other words benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. As the prostate enlarges, it can put pressure on the urethra, and this narrowing of the urethra may cause some men to have trouble urinating. In addition, excessive enlargement of the prostate brings along symptoms such as blood in the urine or pain in the testicles.

There are several treatment options when it comes to Prostatic Hyperplasia. However, which treatment method is more accurate is determined after the tests to be performed. Plasma Kinetic prostate surgery is one of the treatment methods used for Prostatic Hyperplasia.

How is Plasma Kinetic Prostate Surgery Performed?

Plasma kinetic prostate surgery is performed under general anesthesia or, depending on the situation, with spinal anesthesia, where the lower part is anesthetized. During Plasma Kinetic prostate surgery, a metal tube is inserted through the urethra and passed through the penis into the urethra. A resectoscope, which is used to cut the tissues with the electrical system and burn the blood vessels, is passed through the tube and the prostate is cut with bipolar electrical energy, and then taken out of the body and the operation is completed. A catheter is inserted into the bladder after Plasma Kinetic prostate surgery.

The parts removed during plasma kinetic prostate surgery are sent to the laboratory if deemed necessary. Plasma kinetic prostate surgery takes 1-1.5 hours and the patient does not feel anything because he is under anesthesia.

How Long Does It Take to Heal After Plasma Kinetic Prostate Surgery?

After plasma kinetic prostate surgery, a wound occurs in the area where the prostate gland is removed, and it may take 1.5-2 months for this wound to heal completely. Bleeding in the urine may occur until wound healing is complete.

What are the Advantages of Plasma Kinetic Therapy?

The advantages of plasma kinetic prostate surgery are quite high compared to other closed surgery methods. Since low voltage is applied, the energy only affects the point of contact with the prostate and does not cause any damage to the surrounding tissues. The recovery process is much faster than other surgical methods.

When it comes to plasma kinetic treatment, no stenosis occurs in the urinary canal and the procedure time is shorter. Plasma kinetic prostate surgery can be used for all kinds of prostate problems. Postoperative urinary incontinence is less common than other surgical methods. Tissue examination of the parts removed during surgery can be performed and cancer can be detected.

Plasma kinetic prostate surgery is a method that patients with benign Prostatic Hyperplasia can safely choose. At the same time, in the case of occult cancer, early diagnosis is possible when performing tissue examination.
