Robotic radical prostatectomy Home A-Z Health Information Health Library A-Z Robotic Radical Prostatectomy Overview During a robotic radical prostatectomy, the prostate gland is completely removed by an experienced surgeon with the assistance of a robotic surgical platform. Our hospital, we utilise the da Vinci® Surgical System, an advanced robotic technology designed for radical laparoscopic prostatectomy, providing enhanced vision, control, and precision. Features The surgery offers a number of benefits as compared to traditional open surgery:Minimal invasivenessLower blood lossMinimal painShorter hospital staysQuicker recovery times Treatments and ProcedureS Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy can be used to treat conditions and diseases in which the prostate gland needs to be removed, such as prostate cancer.The procedure utilises a three-dimensional endoscope and advanced imaging equipment to provide surgeons with a magnified view of the delicate structures surrounding the prostate gland, including nerves, blood vessels, and muscles. This helps to optimally preserve these vital structuresKeyhole incisions are used to access and remove the prostate glandDuring most of the surgery, the surgeon sits at a computer console using precision wristed instruments to perform the procedure. These permit a far greater range of motion than the human wrist.
