Robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer in Bangalore
Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
Facing a prostate cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, but with the right treatment and technology, you’re already one step closer to recovery. At Shree Srinivasa Uro Care, we offer robotic surgery for prostate cancer in Bangalore, India, for men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer, delivered exclusively by our experienced urologist, Dr. K. S. Shiva Kumar.
What Is a Radical Prostatectomy?
A radical prostatectomy involves the complete surgical removal of the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and sometimes the nearby lymph nodes. The goal of this procedure is to remove all cancerous tissue before it has the chance to spread beyond the prostate. The urethra is then carefully reconnected to the bladder so that urinary function can be restored. This surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia.
What Is Robotic-Assisted Surgery?
Robotic-assisted surgery utilizes robotic machines to assist doctors in performing operations. This method is less invasive, which can lead to benefits like smaller cuts, less pain, and quicker recovery times. Doctors control robotic arms equipped with tools and a camera, providing them with a closer, three-dimensional view of the area being operated on.
Why Choose Robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer?
Compared to traditional open surgery, robotic-assisted prostatectomy offers several benefits:
- Shorter hospital stay
- Minimal blood loss and less need for transfusion
- Lower risk of infection
- Smaller scars and reduced post-op discomfort
- Faster recovery and return to daily activities
- Better preservation of nerves is important for erectile and urinary function
Thanks to high-resolution 3D imaging and micro-movement instruments, Dr. Shiva Kumar can better preserve the delicate neurovascular bundles near the prostate. These are crucial for maintaining erectile function and improving urinary continence after surgery.
What Happens After Surgery?
Most patients can drink fluids within 6 hours and begin walking the same day. The hospital stay is usually 2–3 days. A catheter is typically removed around day 10, and light activities can resume within a week. Full recovery, including workouts and heavier tasks, can begin by day 30, depending on your progress.
