Robotic radical prostatectomy is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgery used to treat localized prostate cancer by removing the prostate gland and surrounding tissues with extraordinary precision.
Under the expert care of Dr. Ajinkya Kasekar, robotic-assisted surgery ensures better cancer control, minimal pain, faster recovery, and improved postoperative urinary and sexual function compared to traditional methods.

What Is Robotic Radical Prostatectomy?

Robotic radical prostatectomy uses a sophisticated robotic surgical system controlled entirely by the surgeon.
The technology provides:

• 3D, high-definition vision

• Tremor-free precision

• Extraordinary dexterity beyond the human hand

• Micro-level accuracy for delicate tissue dissection

This allows for precise cancer removal while preserving surrounding nerves and critical structures responsible for continence and sexual function.

Who Needs This Procedure?

Robotic radical prostatectomy is recommended for:

• Localized prostate cancer

• Early-stage prostate cancer confined to the gland

• Patients who prefer surgical removal over radiation

• Men with good life expectancy and desire for long-term cure

• Cases where biopsy and MRI suggest organ-confined disease

Benefits of Robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer

Compared to open or standard laparoscopic surgery, robotic prostatectomy offers:

• Smaller incisions & minimal scars

• Less blood loss

• Reduced postoperative pain

• Shorter hospital stay

• Faster recovery

• Better urinary continence outcomes

• Enhanced preservation of erectile function

• Higher precision in cancer removal

• Lower complication rates

It is one of the most advanced and effective treatments for prostate cancer today.

How Robotic Radical Prostatectomy Is Performed

1. Tiny keyhole incisions are made in the abdomen.

2. Robotic instruments and a 3D camera are inserted.

3. Dr. Ajinkya Kasekar controls the robotic arms from a surgical console.

4. The prostate gland and nearby tissues are carefully removed.

5. Nerve-sparing techniques are used whenever possible.

6. The bladder and urethra are reconnected.

7. Incisions are closed and the patient is monitored.

Surgery duration: 2–3 hours, depending on complexity.

Recovery After Robotic Prostatectomy

Most patients experience:

• Hospital stay of 1–2 days

• Catheter removal after 7–10 days

• Return to normal activities in 2–3 weeks

• Rapid improvement in pain levels

• Gradual recovery of urinary control

• Possible improvement in sexual function over weeks to months

Follow-up includes PSA testing to monitor long-term cancer control.

Potential Side Effects (Usually Temporary)

• Mild urinary leakage

• Temporary erectile dysfunction

• Minor discomfort at incision sites

Robotic precision significantly reduces the risk and severity of these side effects.
