Last week, for the first time in Kyrgyzstan, in the walls of the KSMU Medical Center, a general surgeon, oncologist and head of the Department. The surgical department of Toktogaziev Bakyt Toktogazievich performed a high-tech laparoscopic operation – preperitoneal prostatectomy for malignant prostate cancer. The operation was successful, the patient was discharged home.

This is, we can say, a unique operation for urology in Kyrgyzstan, since previously it was performed only by open surgery, that is, prostatectomy was performed through an incision of 20-25 cm in size, which usually led to significant blood loss, and recovery was long and painful. 

Now, laparoscopic prostatectomy has become the standard method of treating prostate cancer in all developed countries of the world, since the operation is not traumatic, allowing a person to get out of bed in a short time. It is done through small punctures, surgeons do not work with their hands inside the abdominal cavity. Inside the abdominal cavity there are only the tips of thin instruments, the operation itself is controlled by a video system that transmits the image to the monitor. There is no incision, and therefore there is no danger of suppuration of the wound, the formation of hernias, no pain, no huge suture.

It should be noted that prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant neoplasms, that is, a tumor of the genitourinary system in men.
