Prostate Cancer Surgery Options
Every patient’s situation is different. Surgical treatment is tailored to your diagnosis, overall health, and personal priorities, with a focus on achieving effective cancer control while preserving quality of life wherever possible.
Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
A minimally invasive, robot-assisted procedure used to remove the prostate with a high degree of precision. This approach allows the surgeon to operate with enhanced visualisation and control, which can support improved surgical accuracy. For suitable patients, robotic prostatectomy is associated with reduced blood loss, smaller incisions, and a shorter recovery period compared to traditional open surgery. It remains the standard surgical approach for many men undergoing prostate cancer treatment.
Retzius-Sparing Robotic Prostatectomy
An advanced variation of robotic prostatectomy that uses a different anatomical pathway to access the prostate. By avoiding disruption of key supporting structures, this technique is designed to support improved early recovery following surgery. For selected patients, this approach has been associated with faster return of urinary continence, while maintaining the principles of effective cancer control. It is a highly specialised technique performed by surgeons with specific expertise in this method.
Nerve-Sparing Prostatectomy
A specialised surgical approach focused on preserving the delicate nerves responsible for urinary control and erectile function. These structures run very close to the prostate and require careful handling during surgery. Where clinically appropriate, nerve-sparing techniques are used to help maintain quality of life after treatment. The decision to preserve nerves depends on cancer characteristics and safety, with the priority always being complete cancer removal.
