Overview
Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgery to remove the prostate gland in men with prostate cancer. The Da Vinci robotic system provides enhanced precision, 3D visualization, and better nerve preservation compared to open surgery.
Procedure
Through small abdominal incisions, the surgeon controls robotic arms to precisely remove the prostate and seminal vesicles. The robotic system allows for better visualization and delicate nerve-sparing techniques to preserve urinary and sexual function.
✅ Benefits
Excellent cancer control, Less blood loss, Smaller incisions, Reduced pain, Shorter hospital stay, Better preservation of urinary and sexual function
⚠️ Risks
Urinary incontinence (temporary), Erectile dysfunction (risk varies), Infection, Blood clots, Anastomotic stricture
🔄 Recovery
Hospital stay: 1-2 days. Catheter for 7-10 days. Return to normal activities: 2-4 weeks. Full continence recovery: 3-6 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be incontinent after surgery?
Most patients regain full urinary control within 3-6 months. Nerve-sparing techniques significantly improve outcomes.
Is robotic surgery better than open surgery?
Robotic surgery offers less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and comparable cancer control to open surgery.
