Umbilicus in Prostate Cancer


Umbilicus is the scar left on the body from where the umbilical cord was once connected. The umbilicus is more commonly referred to as the navel or the belly button. During the radical retropubic prostatectomy, the prostate cancer patient is shaved and prepped from the pubis to the umbilicus.
