Description

Robotic prostatectomy is a surgical procedure used to remove the prostate gland in men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The procedure is performed using a robotic surgical system that is controlled by a surgeon. During the procedure, the surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen, through which robotic arms and instruments are inserted. The surgeon then sits at a console and uses a computer to control the movements of the robotic arms and instruments, which are inserted into the patient's body. The robotic system provides the surgeon with a three-dimensional view of the surgical site and allows for greater precision and control than traditional open surgery. This can lead to a faster recovery time and fewer complications. Robotic prostatectomy is generally considered safe and effective, but like any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, including bleeding, infection, and damage to surrounding organs. Recovery time can vary depending on the individual and other factors, such as the extent of the surgery and the patient's overall health.
