Minimally Invasive Radical Prostatectomy in Mexico City

When a patient receives a diagnosis of prostate cancer and desires:

  • Surgery with the lowest possibility of complications
  • The best treatment currently available for treating prostate cancer
  • To be in the hands of a leading, board-certified specialist in Latin America for prostate cancer treatment

One of the most effective alternatives for treatment is radical prostatectomy. That is, the complete removal of the prostate and, in some cases, the nearby lymph nodes.

Today, thanks to medical advances, surgery for prostate cancer can be performed using minimally invasive techniques that offer great benefits to the patient.


Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (surgery for prostate cancer)

This procedure is performed through small incisions in the abdomen, using special instruments and a high-definition camera.

Main advantages of surgery for prostate cancer with Laparoscopy:

1. Less intraoperative bleeding

Reducing the need for transfusions.

2. Faster recovery

Compared to open surgery.

3. Less postoperative pain

Thanks to the small incisions.

4. Minimal scarring

With a better aesthetic result.

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose bladder control after surgery?

Not necessarily. It is common to have some incontinence initially, but most patients regain control over time, especially with minimally invasive radical prostatectomy techniques and a specialized surgeon.

Does radical prostatectomy mean the end of my sex life?

No. Although there may be temporary changes in erectile function. It is important to keep in mind that with modern surgical techniques (laparoscopic and robotic) for performing radical prostatectomy, the nerves responsible for erection can be preserved. Many patients achieve full sexual recovery with appropriate medical follow-up.

Is it better to wait and see how the prostate cancer evolves?

No. When the cancer is localized, surgery offers high success rates. Delaying treatment may reduce the chances of success.

Are all surgeries to treat prostate cancer the same?

No. Laparoscopic and robotic radical prostatectomy offer important advantages over open surgery: greater precision, fewer complications, and a better quality of life after the procedure.

Are there risks in a radical prostatectomy?

Like any major surgery, radical prostatectomy can have side effects, such as urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction. However, with modern techniques and a good rehabilitation program, many men successfully regain their quality of life.

Both laparoscopy and robotic surgery offer advanced and safe alternatives to traditional open surgery. The choice will depend on each particular case, the patient’s health status, and your urologist’s level of expertise.

Minimally invasive techniques in radical prostatectomy allow us to: treat prostate cancer effectively, reducing risks and promoting the patient’s prompt recovery.

Remember that the decision to perform a radical prostatectomy is always made jointly between the patient and their urologist, weighing the benefits, risks, and treatment alternatives.
