Robotic Prostate Surgery

Robotic-assisted radical laparoscopic prostatectomy is surgery that is done to remove the prostate gland, which is a minimally invasive procedure used mostly in treating prostate cancer. This operation uses da Vinci Surgical System, which is a modern robotic technology that enhances surgeons’ sight, accuracy and control during medical procedures. This allows the doctor to operate through small keyhole incisions in the abdomen instead of opening up the belly widely.

During the procedure, a surgeon controls miniaturized instruments mounted on robotic arms that can move more smoothly and accurately than human hands. This precision helps in protecting vital nerves and tissues around the prostate, hence possibly avoiding problems like impotence and urinary incontinence.

This less invasive surgery is much better compared to conventional radical retropubic prostatectomy that necessitates making a large cut from the navel down to the pubis. Patients tend to feel less pain, lose less blood, have shorter hospital stays, as well as recover faster. Therefore, if you’re contemplating undergoing any surgery for your prostate it is essential that you consult with your doctor before settling for robotic-assisted radical laparoscopic prostatectomy as.an appropriate option based on your unique circumstances.
