Robotic or Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove the prostate gland and surrounding tissues (including seminal vesicles) in men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer. The goal is to eliminate cancer while preserving urinary and sexual function as much as possible.
Who Needs ?
- Localized prostate cancer (confined to the prostate)
- High-risk early-stage cancer
- Good general health and a life expectancy of 10+ years
- Preference for a surgical cure over radiation or active surveillance
How the Procedure Works:
- Anesthesia
- Access
- Prostate Removal
- Nerve-Sparing (if possible)
- Catheter Placement
Advantages:
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Less blood loss
- Reduced postoperative pain
- Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery
- Precise nerve preservation (better urinary and sexual outcomes)
Limitations / Risks:
- Urinary incontinence (temporary or, rarely, long-term)
- Erectile dysfunction (varies based on nerve preservation, age, and pre-surgery function)
- Bleeding or infection
- Anastomotic leak (from bladder-urethra reconnection site)
- Requires skilled and experienced surgeon
- Higher cost, especially for robotic surgery
