About Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer surgery, performed by a surgical oncologist, is a specialized procedure to remove cancerous tissue from the prostate gland. The most common approach is a radical prostatectomy, which involves the complete removal of the prostate and seminal vesicles. This is often performed using minimally invasive techniques like robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery, which offers greater precision, smaller incisions, and potentially faster recovery. The primary goal is to eliminate the cancer while striving to preserve surrounding nerves critical for urinary control and sexual function. This procedure is a cornerstone of treatment for localized prostate cancer and is tailored to the patient's specific cancer stage, overall health, and personal preferences.

Key Highlights

Curative treatment for localized prostate cancer, aiming for complete tumor removal.Minimally invasive robotic techniques offer enhanced precision and 3D visualization.Focus on nerve-sparing approaches to help preserve urinary continence and erectile function.Can be combined with lymph node dissection for accurate cancer staging.Typically results in a significant reduction of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels post-surgery.

Who is this surgery for?

Localized prostate cancer (confined to the prostate gland).
Cancer that is considered intermediate or high-risk based on Gleason score and PSA level.
Patient life expectancy of more than 10 years.
When active surveillance is no longer appropriate due to cancer progression.
As part of a multimodal treatment plan for certain advanced cases.

How to prepare

Complete medical evaluation, including cardiac and pulmonary clearance if needed.
Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) as advised by the doctor.
Bowel preparation may be required to empty the intestines.
Fasting for 8-12 hours before the surgery.
Discussion of anesthesia options and signing of informed consent forms.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding during or after the procedure, potentially requiring transfusion.
Infection at the incision site or in the urinary tract.
Temporary or permanent urinary incontinence (leakage).
Erectile dysfunction due to nerve damage.
Injury to nearby structures like the rectum or ureters.
Rare risks include blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) and anesthesia complications.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay typically lasts 1-3 days for monitoring and pain management.
A urinary catheter is placed for 1-2 weeks to allow the bladder to heal.
Gradual return to light activities; heavy lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
Pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) are crucial to regain urinary control.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor PSA levels and manage any side effects.
Full recovery and return to all normal activities may take several weeks to months.

Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days
Expected recovery time: 4-6 weeks for basic activities, up to 3-6 months for full functional recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

Vihaan Malhotra, a 58-year-old software architect...

Vihaan Malhotra, a 58-year-old software architect and avid hiker, had always been proactive about his health. His annual check-up revealed a slightly elevated PSA level. Though initially unconcerned, a follow-up test showed a continued rise. A subsequent MRI and biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of localized, intermediate-risk prostate cancer. His surgical oncologist, Dr. Evans, recommended a robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, explaining it offered the best chance for a cure with precise nerve-sparing techniques to preserve urinary and sexual function. Vihaan was terrified, not just of the cancer, but of losing the active, vibrant life he loved. The surgery went smoothly, but the initial recovery was challenging. He struggled with urinary incontinence and faced the emotional weight of potential erectile dysfunction. With dedicated pelvic floor physiotherapy and patience, his continence steadily improved over six months. While sexual function recovery was slower, he found new intimacy with his wife. Two years later, with undetectable PSA levels, Vihaan is back on the trails. His journey shifted his perspective from fear of loss to profound gratitude for his health and the support system that carried him through.
