ROBOTIC RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY FOR PROSTATE CANCER

One of the commonest procedures performed by Dr. Ramani, almost every day of the week.

  • Once the anaesthesia is done, six micro cuts (3mm each) are made in the patient’s abdomen.
  • The arms of the Da Vinci robot are connected to the cuts via ports (tubes).
  • Dr. Ramani then sits in the controlling console to perform the surgery.
  • On an average, a radical prostatectomy takes one hour.
  • The surgery is almost completely bloodless and there has never been any need to transfuse blood after surgery.
  • A urine catheter and bag to drain the bladder is inserted during surgery.
  • A tiny drain pipe in inserted in the left side of the abdomen, connected to a bag.
  • Patient is kept nil-by-mouth the day of the surgery, with IV fluids. Sips Of water is started the next day and solid food by day three.
  • Total hospital stay for radical prostatectomy is 5 nights (including night before surgery).
  • The drain pipe is removed in the room on day 3 after surgery.
  • Patient is discharged with the urine pipe (catheter). This is removed exactly 10 days from the date of surgery.
  • Post discharge, a doctor from the surgical team visits the patient at home/ hotel room once every day.
  • The urine pipe is removed by the same doctor at the patient’s home, ten days after surgery.
INCONTINENCE AFTER SURGERY
  • All patients tend to, experience stress incontinence (leakage of few drops of urine) for few days to few months after surgery depending on the age of the patient.
  • Until such time the leak stops, patient cannot wear regular underwear but will have to wear an adult pull up diaper. Kegels exercises will be taught to the patient and the leak resolves soon.
  • Expertise with nerve sparing has caused leak times to reduce dramatically over the years.
IMPOTENCE
  • All patients experience some degree of difficulty achieving erections after a radical prostatectomy. 
  • The degree of impairment is directly proportional to the age of the patient. For patients experiencing significant erectile dysfunction, our team Andrologist offers multiple solutions to correct this and all our patients who want to be sexually active, are sexually active after the Andrologist treatment.
  •  
RETURN TO ACTIVITY
  • On the day of discharge, the patient is totally self- sufficient. They are able to walk freely (with the urine bag), dress themselves, shower, and use the toilet and they do not need to hire any nurse or help at home.
