Robotic Prostatectomy (Minimally Invasive Prostate Cancer Treatment)

· Those in Malaysia for at least 2 weeks.
· Those diagnosed with prostate cancer.
· Those who wish to cure themselves of prostate cancer.
· Those who wish to pursue prostate cancer treatment in a minimally-invasive way.
· Those who wish to get prostatectomy surgery with lower risks and fewer complications.

Also known as Robotic-assisted radical laparoscopic prostatectomy, Robotic Prostatectomy is the best treatment for those with prostate cancer. The procedure is accomplished using the da Vinci Surgical System, a sophisticated robotic surgery system that allows surgeons to operate on the prostate with enhanced vision, control and precision. This results in fewer complications and a more effective treatment.

First introduced in 1999, the da Vinci surgical system was approved by FDA in 2000. Since then, over 4,000 da Vinci robotic surgical systems have been installed worldwide, with more than 4 million surgeries have been performed using the surgical robot. This proves its safety and clinical benefits in treating patients.

Some features of the surgical robot include:

· Endowrist Instrumentation
Provide surgeons with natural dexterity and range of movement far greater than the human hand

· 3D HD Vision
3-dimensional, enhanced high definition vision with 10 times magnification - offering surgeons an immersive view

· Intuitive Movement
The surgeon’s hand movements are scaled, filtered and seamlessly translated into robotic arms and instruments

1. To help the doctor to preserve the vital structures surrounding the prostate gland, a magnified view of the prostate gland and its surrounding structures will be is obtained.
2. Miniaturized robotic instruments will be passed through several small keyhole incisions in the abdomen to allow the doctor to remove the prostate and nearby tissues with great precision.
* For most of the surgery, the doctor is seated at a computer console and manipulates tiny-wristed instruments that offer a far greater range of motion than the human wrist. The surgery is performed without the doctor's hands entering your body cavity.

<Advantages>
· Treats prostate cancer
· Faster return of erectile/sexual function
· Short recovery period/shorter hospital stay
· Less blood loss compared to open-surgery prostatectomy
· More tolerable than open-surgery prostatectomy
· Fewer complications, lower risk of wound infections and deep vein thrombosis

<Limitations>
· Possible urinary incontinence, but it improves over time (also a side effect of open-surgery prostatectomy)
· Possible adjacent tissue/organ damage (rare)
· Possible infection (rare)

Q1: Is there a chance that robotic prostatectomy will not cure my prostate cancer?
A1: As long as the cancer is limited to your prostate, robotic prostatectomy will cure your prostate cancer.

Q2: I am 75 years old with prostate cancer. Will I benefit from robotic prostatectomy?
A2: Although robotic prostatectomy is effective, it is more effective on men who are expected to live at least 10 more years.

Q3: How exactly is robot-assisted prostatectomy better than traditional prostatectomy?
A3: The improved vision and functionality of the robot helps to minimize the risks of postoperative infection, excessive blood loss, urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, adjacent organ injury and more.
