Robotic Prostatectomy

A robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the prostate gland in the treatment of prostate cancer. It involves the use of a surgical robot controlled by a trained surgeon to perform the operation with enhanced precision and dexterity.

During the procedure, small incisions are made in the patient’s abdomen, and the robotic arms equipped with surgical instruments and a camera are inserted through these incisions. The surgeon sits at a console and operates the robotic arms using hand and foot controls, while viewing a high-definition, 3D magnified image of the surgical site provided by the camera.
