Robotic Prostatectomy

Robotic Prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed using robotic technology to remove the prostate gland in men with prostate cancer. It is one of the most common treatment options for localized prostate cancer.

When and why do people go for a Robotic Prostatectomy?

People undergo robotic prostatectomy when they are diagnosed with localized prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the prostate gland. The surgery may be recommended to remove the cancerous prostate gland and surrounding tissue, with the goal of curing the cancer, preserving urinary continence, and maintaining sexual function. Robotic-assisted techniques offer several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times.

What makes Robotic Prostatectomy different from other treatment options?

Robotic prostatectomy differs from other treatment options for prostate cancer, such as radiation therapy or hormone therapy, in that it involves the surgical removal of the prostate gland. Compared to traditional open surgery, robotic prostatectomy utilizes advanced robotic technology to perform the procedure with increased precision and dexterity. The robotic system provides the surgeon with a three-dimensional view of the surgical site and allows for greater flexibility and range of motion of instruments, facilitating complex maneuvers in confined spaces. This minimally invasive approach results in less trauma to surrounding tissues reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery.

How does life change after a Robotic Prostatectomy?

Life after robotic prostatectomy can vary depending on the individual's age, overall health, and preoperative function. Many men experience temporary side effects such as urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction after surgery, but these often improve over time with proper rehabilitation and support. Overall, robotic prostatectomy offers excellent cancer control rates and the potential for a good quality of life after surgery, with most men able to resume normal activities within a few weeks to months. Regular follow-up appointments with healthcare providers are essential for monitoring recovery, managing side effects, and detecting any signs of cancer recurrence.
