Radical prostatectomy is the usual surgical option for early prostate cancer. It involves having a general anaestetic and staying in hospital for approximately 6 days. You will be infertile afterwards and may have temporary incontinence and impotence, which is often treatable. The operation may be followed up with radiotherapy or hormone therapy to deal with any remaining cancer cells.
