The patient will have undergone a number of tests including a biopsy (sampling of prostate tissue examined under a microscope) to confirm the diagnosis.
Subsequent tests (staging) will have shown that there is no evidence of spread from the prostate gland to any other parts of the body.
The prostate is rather like a donut which is located at the opening of the bladder between the bladder and penis. The urine and sperm pass through the opening of the prostate gland and down the urethra (pipe) of the penis.
The seminal vesicles are two glands which store sperm at the base of the prostate gland underneath the opening of the bladder.
Both of the two seminal vesicles and the whole of the prostate gland are removed in this operation and the bladder is joined back onto the urethra to enable urine to drain out normally down through the penis.
The bladder is joined directly above the muscle which con-trols the patient's continence (ability to control urine).
