Robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove the prostate gland, usually performed for prostate cancer. Using robotic-assisted technology, the surgeon operates with enhanced precision, 3D vision, and greater control, resulting in less blood loss, smaller incisions, faster recovery, and improved preservation of urinary and sexual function compared to open surgery.
It is a prostate removal surgery performed with the assistance of a robotic surgical system. The surgeon controls robotic arms that provide finer precision and flexibility, ensuring accurate removal of the prostate and surrounding tissues.
It is commonly recommended for:
Yes. Robotic surgery is safe and effective when performed by skilled urologists. Risks include bleeding, infection, urinary leakage, or erectile dysfunction, but these are minimized with advanced robotic techniques and proper rehabilitation.
Nerve-sparing robotic techniques help preserve erectile function, but recovery varies. Many patients regain function within months, often with medications or rehabilitation support.
