radical laparoscopic prostatectomy - (pronounced) (RA-dih-kul LA-puh-ruh-SKAH-pik PROS-tuh-TEK-toh-mee) Surgery to remove the entire prostate using a laparoscope. A laparoscope is a thin, tubular instrument with a light and lens for viewing. It may also have a tool to remove tissue to be examined under a microscope for signs of disease. In a radical laparoscopic prostatectomy, several small incisions (cuts) are made in the lower abdominal wall. The laparoscope is inserted through an opening to guide the operation. Surgical instruments are inserted through the other openings to remove the prostate. It tries to protect the nerves that control penile erection and the bladder from damage
