• Robotic Radical Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer

What is Prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer is an abnormal growth in the prostate gland. Early detection is often through PSA blood tests or clinical examination.

Early stages usually show no symptoms, but later signs may include:

  • Difficulty urinating
  • Frequent urination, especially at night
  • Weak urine flow
  • Blood in urine or semen

 

When is Radical Prostatectomy Needed?

Recommended in cases of:

  • Localized prostate cancer confined to the gland
  • Patients in good general health suitable for surgery
  • Desire to remove cancer completely while preserving as much function as possible

 

 

What is Robotic Radical Prostatectomy?

A highly precise surgical procedure using a robotic system. The surgeon controls robotic arms through very small incisions, offering:

  • High accuracy in tumor removal
  • Preservation of nerves responsible for erections and urinary control
  • Less blood loss and shorter hospital stay compared to traditional surgery

 

Advantages of Robotic Radical Prostatectomy

✔ Very small incisions → less pain and scarring

✔ High precision in tumor removal

✔ Reduced blood loss

✔ Preservation of erectile and urinary functions whenever possible

✔ Shorter recovery → faster return to normal life

After the Procedure

  • Temporary urinary catheter is usually placed for a few days
  • Follow-up includes PSA testing to monitor for cancer recurrence
  • Simple rehabilitation program helps restore urinary and sexual function
