What is Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)

It is an advanced minimally invasive approach where a surgeon mostly operates through only incision of around 20mm as opposed to multiple cuts (3-4) of ½ - 1 cm
A specially designed port is created through which a telescope (attached to a camera) is inserted along with other laparoscopic instruments
Surgeons can observe magnified versions of internal organs on a television screen
Usually the incision is made below the navel
Why is SILS better for you?

As there is only one incision, you will experience much lesser pain
Recovery time is much faster
The healed incision will practically leave no scar
It will be a great cosmetic value to people, especially ladies
You can resume your daily life quickly
Perfect for busy professionals

Prostate cancer affects the prostate gland, the gland that produces some of the fluid in semen and plays a role in urine control in men. The prostate gland is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. Usually, prostate cancer grows slowly and is initially confined to the prostate gland, where it may not cause serious harm. However, while some types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may need minimal or even no treatment, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly.

The good news is that prostate cancer is one of the types of cancer with the best chances of recovery. This is because it often grows very slowly so it is generally possible to treat it effectively.

Sign & Symptoms:
Prostate cancer may cause no signs or symptoms in its early stages. Prostate cancer that's more advanced may cause signs and symptoms. Few common symptoms are:

- Trouble urinating

- Decreased force in the stream of urine

- Blood in semen

- Discomfort in the pelvic area

- Bone pain

- Erectile dysfunction
