Treatment for Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. Since its frequency generally increases after the age of 50, it is recommended to start screening at the age of 50 if there is no cancer in the family.

The treatment for prostate cancer is the removal of the prostate along with its capsule and appendages, called Radical Prostatectomy. Treatment with radical prostatectomy is performed successfully. Radical prostatectomy can be performed open or closed. While open surgery is performed through an incision of approximately 15-20 cm, laparoscopic or robotic prostatectomy can be performed closed through several 1 cm incisions.

Prostate Cancer Frequently Asked Questions

What is Robotic Radical Prostatectomy?

Robotic surgery is short for Robot Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery. Basically, Radical Prostatectomy, which is an open surgery, is performed by robotic method. The surgery is performed robotically with 6 10 mm openings (Trocar) opened in the abdomen. By connecting a robot to these trocars, the surgeon performs the operation robotically. This is how the name of the procedure is determined as robotic prostatectomy.

What is Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy?

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is a type of surgery performed in a closed manner by controlling the instruments with the surgeon's hands through 10 mm openings opened at the operating site.
This surgery method may provide advantages such as less urinary incontinence, less bleeding, and better erection compared to open surgery.

What are the Advantages of Robotic/Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy?

Less blood loss
Less pain thanks to smaller incisions
Thanks to high magnification, better results can be obtained in urinary incontinence and erection rates.
