Prostate cancer remains to be the most common cancer in men worldwide, and Philippines is no exception. For
localized prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy remains the gold standard and one of the most common
treatment options that involves the surgical removal of the entire malignant prostate and nearby structures.
Traditional vs. Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Traditionally, radical prostatectomy required a large incision, which, while effective in experienced hands, often
resulted in significant blood loss and a longer recovery period. Recent technological advances offer a less invasive
and more precise surgical technique, the Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy. This state-of-the-
art procedure utilizes the da Vinci Robot, a high-tech device that enhances surgical precision and reduces
invasiveness, in the hands of country’s pioneer certified robotic surgeons. During the procedure, the urologic
surgeons maintains full control, utilizing the robot to enhance their capabilities. The da Vinci Robot provides the
surgeons with a magnified 3-dimensional view of the surgical area, allowing for greater clarity and precision. The
surgery is performed through small keyhole incisions, significantly reducing invasiveness compared to traditional
open surgery.
Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery offers numerous potential benefits over traditional open surgery, including:
- Shorter hospital stay: Patients can often return home sooner.
- Less post-operative pain: Smaller incisions mean less discomfort after surgery.
- Reduced risk of infection: The minimally invasive approach lowers infection risks.
- Less blood loss and fewer transfusions: Enhanced precision leads to less bleeding.
- Less scarring: Small incisions result in minimal visible scarring.
- Faster recovery: Patients generally experience a quicker overall recovery.
- Quicker return to normal activities: The minimally invasive nature allows for a faster resumption of daily
activities.
