Prostate cancer occurs in the prostate, the gland responsible for producing seminal fluid, located below the bladder in men. Symptoms, if present, may include difficulty urinating.
Robotic Radical Prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses robotic equipment for the removal of the entire prostate gland. This technique allows for shorter recovery times with fewer risks of complications due to the absence of large incisions.
It also provides precise direction through 3D vision that allows for nerve sparing.
Mr. Assefa Zeleke Debele from Ethiopia successfully underwent Robotic Radical Prostatectomy at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. V. Surya Prakash, Consultant Urologist, Laparoscopic, Robotic & Transplant Surgeon.
