Surgery for Prostate Cancer: Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
The video explains robotic radical prostatectomy, a minimally invasive surgery for men whose prostate cancer is confined to the gland. Using a small periumbilical incision, a port is placed to insufflate the abdomen with CO₂, allowing a high‑definition 3‑D camera and wristed robotic instruments to operate. The surgeon controls the arms from a console, translating finger movements into precise cuts, while preserving surrounding nerves and vessels when possible. Key steps include separating the bladder, cutting the urethra, excising the prostate, and optionally removing nearby lymph nodes for staging. The procedure concludes with urethra‑to‑bladder reattachment and closure of incisions with sutures, staples or surgical glue. Patients typically leave the hospital within 24 hours and keep a Foley catheter for about a week, resulting in faster recovery, reduced blood loss, and potential preservation of sexual function, which reshapes postoperative care and cost structures.
