Prostate Cancer Surgery
Prostate Cancer Surgery is surgery associated with diseases that affect the male reproductive tract. Robotics in the field of urological surgery has been an exciting development. In urology, robots have been applied in Reconstructive and Cancer Surgery.

Some of the Benefits of Robotic Surgery
- Precision
- Three D natural vision
- Better hand-eye coordination
- Enhanced depth perception
- Seven degrees of freedom movements
- Ergonomic design
- Reduced chances of surgeon fatigue
Robotic prostate cancer surgery is slowly becoming the gold standard for certain procedures. In the case of cancer of the prostate, a daVinci prostatectomy is the preferred plan of treatment. Benefits of robotic prostatectomy over open prostatectomy & laparoscopic prostatectomy are as follows:
- Faster return of sexual function (erectile function)
- Increased chance of return of urinary continence within 6 months of surgery
- Less loss of blood
- Lower risk of wound infections & complications
- Shorter hospital stay & recovery time
- Better nerve sparing rate
A similar advantage is seen in other robotic surgeries like Kidney transplantation where wound infection and lymphocele are almost eliminated by the robot. Patients also experience less pain, fewer narcotics requirements, better cosmesis, and early recovery. Radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy are the most commonly performed operations all across the world.
