== == That depends on the *reason* for the rectostomy, (or proctostomy, which is the same thing.)

If there is cancer involved in the prostate, then yes, it will be removed. If the prostate is unaffected by the current disease process that is causing the need for the proctostomy then most likely it will be left intact.

Do they remove the prostate during prostate cancer surgery?

During prostate cancer surgery, the prostate is usually removed if the cancer is localized and considered suitable for surgical treatment. This procedure is called a radical prostatectomy, where the entire prostate gland, along with some surrounding tissue and sometimes nearby lymph nodes, is taken out to ensure the cancer is fully removed. However, not all prostate cancer patients need their prostate removed. For men with very slow-growing or early-stage cancers, doctors may recommend active surveillance, radiation therapy, or other non-surgical treatments. The decision depends on factors like cancer stage, overall health, and patient preferences. urooncologistdramitabh/surgery/best-prostate-cancer-surgeon-delhi-ncr-india/
