Prostate Surgery
Prostate surgery is commonly performed for two reasons: prostate cancer and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Treatment may be life-saving, or it may be done to relieve problems urinating that did not respond to medication.
Your choice of the surgeon may be the most important decision you make, even more so than the type of procedure. The more skilled the surgeon, preferably with extensive experience performing hundreds or even thousands of procedures just like yours, the less likely you are to experience erectile dysfunction due to nerve damage.
In addition to selecting a highly skilled surgeon, it is important to work with your surgeon to select the best procedure for your unique needs. Some procedures are used to shrink prostate tissue, others remove a portion or all of the prostate and may be used to treat cancer.
Enlarged Prostate or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
The prostate is a small organ about the size of a walnut. It lies below the bladder (where urine is stored) and surrounds the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder). The prostate makes a fluid that helps to nourish sperm as part of the semen (ejaculatory fluid).
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is nonmalignant (noncancerous) enlargement of the prostate gland, a common occurrence in older men. It is also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Testimonials
My personal experience with Dr. Rajesh Dhake is very good. He was very calm and patient enough to hear my problems and answered all my queries well. He diagnosed the issue well and didn't directly asked for surgery at the first instance. Later also, he didn't suggest for any surgery after getting some more tests done and analyzed. I feel he has very good command on his field and area. I found him to be a Good Doctor.
Dr. Dhake sir is very ground to earth person. He not only supports in health also in mediclaim. He is a best urologist. I got his reference from Google and directly contacted him and he suggested laser operation. I got admitted in sanjivani medipont hospital. I had 15mm stone in ureter near to bladder. He shown the stone while doing the operation. He is also opening his own hospital soon. I will recommend him for kidney related issues. Thank you Dhake sir for your on time support.
One of the most generous and down to earth doctor I have met in Pune. My dad was diagnosed with a very large renal cyst of 11cm during a new medical insurance mandatory check-up.
There was an obvious panic as it was asymptomatic and my town lacked good uro surgeon. Dr Dhake who had earlier consulted for.my renaal stones was generous enough to reply to my Watsapp msg and calls regarding the cyst and told me not to panic and asked me to Wait for further diagnosis . I flew my dad over to Pune and after detailed diagnosis and analysis suggested us to go for surgery .
The surgery was successful and we are absolutely happy with the further OPDs for.the same.
My family's experience with Dhake Sir was really outstanding. My father was treated & operated by Sir for Urethra Stricture. He consulted-advised-guided us very well. He is very good doctor. My father is well now. Afterwards we went again to Sir for my 4 year old Son's urine infection. He guided us correctly. Circumcision was performed on my son by Sir.
Most important thing, for me, was he was always available on WhatsApp. Whenever we had any worries, we used to ask him on WhatsApp message and he was always replying asap. Thank you very much Sir
