Robotic prostatectomy is a highly advanced, minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat prostate cancer by removing the prostate gland with the help of robotic-assisted technology.
Using the precision of robotic systems, Dr. Ajinkya Kasekar performs this procedure with exceptional accuracy, offering faster recovery, minimal pain, and better functional outcomes compared to traditional open surgery.

What Is Robotic Prostatectomy?

Robotic prostatectomy is performed using a robotic surgical system controlled by the surgeon.
The robotic arms provide:

• High-definition 3D vision

• Tremor-free precision

• Greater flexibility than the human hand

• Extremely fine movements for delicate tissues

This enables precise removal of the prostate while preserving surrounding nerves and structures.

Who Needs Robotic Prostatectomy?

It is recommended for men diagnosed with:

• Localized prostate cancer

• Early-stage prostate cancer suitable for surgical removal

• Cases where radiation or other treatments are not preferred

• Men seeking faster recovery with minimal complications

Advantages of Robotic Prostatectomy

Robotic-assisted surgery offers significant benefits over open or conventional laparoscopic surgery:

• Smaller incisions & minimal scars

• Less blood loss

• Reduced pain after surgery

• Shorter hospital stay

• Faster return to routine activities

• Better preservation of urinary continence

• Improved chances of erectile function recovery

• Highly precise cancer removal

How the Procedure Is Performed

1. Several tiny incisions are made in the abdomen.

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

3. Dr. Ajinkya Kasekar controls the robotic system from a console.

4. The prostate gland is carefully removed with high precision.

5. Surrounding nerves vital for continence and sexual function are preserved whenever possible.

6. The urinary tract is reconstructed, and the incisions are closed.

Average surgery time: 2–3 hours.

Recovery After Robotic Prostatectomy

Most patients experience:

• Hospital stay of 1–2 days

• Catheter removal after 7–10 days

• Return to routine work in 2–3 weeks

• Minimal postoperative discomfort

• Rapid improvement in urinary control

• Gradual recovery of sexual function (varies by patient)

Regular follow-up ensures complete healing and monitoring of cancer markers (PSA).

Possible Side Effects (Usually Temporary)

• Mild urinary leakage

• Temporary erectile dysfunction

• Minor pain at incision sites

With robotic precision and nerve-sparing techniques, these risks are significantly reduced.
