Prostate cancer deaths in Nigeria mind-boggling — Consultant urologist

A Consultant Urological and Robotic Surgeon, Prof. Kingsley Ekwueme, is the clinical lead surgeon for urology at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Wales, United Kingdom.

The major difference is that laparoscopy reduces blood loss and the length of stay in the hospital. When I was training as a medical student, if you had a prostatectomy, you could finish the whole process within a surgical unit and the patient would still be there. I’m talking about at least one month. And you’re seeing the patient every day in the ward, with a bucketful of blood loss. But I do that same operation laparoscopically in the UK, and you go back in the evening.

But now, with laparoscopy and laboratory techniques, we have unparalleled fissures of the prostate, and we are able to perform the operation and preserve the functions, and that’s important. If you do open surgery, you have to wear a headlamp as the one coal miners wear.
