Prostate Surgery in Tbilisi is available at 2 hospitals in the Voumed network.

Prostate surgery is a group of urological operations that treat an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer by removing the tissue that is blocking the flow of urine or clearing the cancer. It restores comfortable urination for men whose symptoms no longer respond to medication, and offers a curative option when cancer is confined to the gland. Modern care offers several routes, from keyhole procedures done entirely through the urinary channel with no external cut to robotic removal of the whole gland with fine nerve preservation. Many men travel abroad for prostate surgery to reach experienced urology teams, the latest minimally invasive and robotic equipment, short waiting times and a calm, private recovery away from home.
