Can someone tell me how many laparoscopic prostatectomies are performed
each year in the United States?

Would any of these procedures serve your purpose?

Transureth Prostatectomy

Hi Bobbie7!

Those procedures refer to open surgery, not laparoscopic which is a
less invasive procedure. But your information is still helpful. I will
post another question with your name in the subject line asking for
the number of open prostatectomies performed in the United States.

Thank you,
