What is Robotic Radical Prostatectomy and how does the Da Vinci system work?

Robotic radical prostatectomy is a form of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy that allows the surgeon to remove the prostate through small incisions, using high-definition 3D vision technology.


The Da Vinci system translates the specialized surgeon’s movements from a console to the robotic arms, improving precision and reducing tissue trauma.

Advantages of Da Vinci robot-assisted radical prostatectomy:

1. Greater surgical precision

Thanks to finer and more stable movements that reduce the risk of damaging surrounding nerves and tissues.

2. Reduction of complications

By up to 70%.

3. Better preservation of erectile function and urinary continence

Two fundamental aspects of quality of life after surgery.

4. Less pain and a more comfortable recovery

With hospital discharge in less time.

5. High-definition 3D vision

Improves the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.

What does robotic surgery for prostate cancer involve?

  1. The procedure begins with general anesthesia and small abdominal incisions through which the robotic ports and the 3D camera are inserted.
  2. The surgeon operates from a console with controls that replicate his movements in an amplified and filtered manner to eliminate tremors.
  3. The typical duration varies by complexity, usually between 2 and 4 hours in the hands of a certified surgeon with extensive experience.
  4. The robot’s role is to perform movements with millimeter precision that facilitate the preservation of neurovascular structures.
This approach minimizes trauma and allows for a faster functional recovery after hospital discharge.

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.

What is robotic radical prostatectomy?

It is a surgery that uses robotic technology (e.g., Da Vinci® system) to remove the prostate affected by cancer.

It allows for more precise movements than the human hand, reducing risks and preserving key structures.

It is currently the most modern and safest surgical technique for the treatment of localized prostate cancer.

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.

What are the real advantages of robotic radical prostatectomy?

  • Surgery without large incisions: performed with minimal incisions.
  • Less bleeding and less pain after surgery.
  • Faster recovery and an earlier return to activities.
  • Greater precision to preserve nerves and important functions.
  • Better results in urinary continence (bladder control).
  • Higher probability of preserving sexual function, thanks to robotic precision.
  • Short hospital stay (1 to 2 days in most cases).

Am I a candidate for robotic radical prostatectomy?

Robotic radical prostatectomy is indicated for patients with:

  • Localized prostate cancer.
  • Age and health status that allow for surgery.
  • Desire for a treatment with a high probability of cure.

If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, trust the most precise and advanced surgical technique.

Place your peace of mind in the hands of a certified Robotic Radical Prostatectomy specialist.
