What are the advantages of robotic prostatectomy over open surgery?

Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) offers superior precision, significantly less blood loss, smaller incisions, and a faster recovery. Most importantly, the 3D high-definition view helps the surgeon better preserve the delicate nerves responsible for bladder control and erectile function.

How long is the hospital stay after robotic prostate surgery?

Most patients in Mumbai undergoing robotic prostatectomy under Dr. Jamal Akhtar Azmi are able to go home within 1 to 2 days after the procedure, compared to the 4-7 days usually required for traditional open surgery.

Will I regain urinary control after the surgery?

Yes. While most men experience some temporary leakage after the catheter is removed, the precision of the Da Vinci robotic system allows for better preservation of the urinary sphincter. Most patients regain full continence within a few weeks to a few months.

Is a catheter required after robotic prostatectomy?

Yes, a urinary catheter is typically required for about 7 days after the surgery to allow the connection between the bladder and urethra to heal. It is usually removed during a quick follow-up visit at the clinic.

When can I return to work after the procedure?

Most patients return to light office work within 2 to 3 weeks. However, strenuous physical activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for approximately 6 weeks to ensure complete internal healing.

Robotic Prostatectomy Surgery: Minimally Invasive Prostate Cancer Treatment by Dr. Jamal Akhtar Azmi

What is Robotic Prostatectomy Surgery?

Robotic prostatectomy surgery is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the prostate gland in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. Using advanced robotic technology, surgeons operate with precision, smaller incisions, and improved control, reducing complications compared to traditional open surgery.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Prostate Cancer Treatment

Minimally invasive robotic surgery offers several advantages, including less pain, smaller scars, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. Patients often experience fewer complications and a quicker return to daily activities compared to conventional surgery.

Recovery and Outcomes After Robotic Prostate Surgery

Recovery after robotic prostatectomy is generally faster due to the minimally invasive approach. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks. Studies show excellent cancer control and improved surgical outcomes with robotic techniques.

Who is a Candidate for Robotic Prostatectomy?
