Robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer: How Healthcare International Is Transforming Precision Oncology
Understanding the Prostate
The prostate gland is a small, walnut-shaped organ in men,
located just below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It plays a vital
role in producing seminal fluid, which nourishes and transports sperm. While it
is usually no bigger than a golf ball, the prostate’s location and function
mean that any disease affecting it can have a significant impact on a man’s
urinary control, sexual function, and overall health.
Diagnosing Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men,
especially after the age of 50. Often, it develops slowly and without obvious
symptoms in its early stages. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of:
- PSA
(Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test – to detect elevated protein levels
that may suggest cancer
- Digital
Rectal Examination (DRE) – to feel for abnormalities in the prostate
- MRI
scans and targeted biopsies – to confirm the presence, location, and
aggressiveness of cancer cells
Early detection is key — cancers caught in the initial stages have the highest cure rates.
Treatment Options for Prostate Cancer
Treatment depends on the stage of the cancer, PSA levels,
Gleason score, and patient health. Common approaches include:
- Active
surveillance for slow-growing cancers
- Radiation
therapy (IMRT, Proton Therapy, Brachytherapy)
- Surgery
to remove the prostate (prostatectomy)
- Hormone
therapy to block testosterone, which fuels cancer growth
- Chemotherapy
or targeted therapy for advanced cases
For many patients with localized or locally advanced
disease, surgery offers the best chance of long-term cancer control. And this
is where robotic surgery is transforming outcomes.
Why Robotic Surgery?
At network of hospitals,
robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) allows surgeons to operate with
unmatched precision, 3D visualization, and control. This results in:
- Minimized
tissue damage
- Reduced
blood loss
- Quicker
recovery
- Smaller
incisions
- Enhanced
nerve-sparing techniques
Our network of surgeons use advanced da Vinci robotic
systems to treat patients with localized prostate cancer effectively while
preserving urinary and sexual function.
Proven Clinical Outcomes
Recent studies show robotic surgery offers equal or better
outcomes compared to open and laparoscopic techniques:
- Prostate cancer-specific mortality: Only 2.0% at 12-year follow-up with robotic
surgery, compared to 4.5% with open surgery
- Cancer
control: Over 98% 5-year cancer-specific survival in early-stage cases
- Lower
surgical margin rates: Especially when performed by experienced robotic
teams, like at Healthcare International
Our Surgeon Expertise: What Sets Healthcare International Apart
Surgical success in robotic prostatectomy strongly
correlates with surgeon experience. At Healthcare International, our network of
urologic oncology experts have completed thousands of robotic procedures and
follow advanced protocols such as:
- Retzius-sparing
approach
- Veil
of Aphrodite nerve-sparing technique
- Single-port
robotic access
These methods minimize complications and improve
post-surgical quality of life — even for high-risk patients.
Recovery That Prioritizes You
Patients undergoing robotic prostate surgery in our network
benefit from:
- Hospital
stay ≤ 24–48 hours
- Rapid
catheter removal
- Return
to normal activities within 2–3 weeks
- Lower
postoperative pain and infection risk
Your medical outcome and quality of life are always our top
priorities.
Patient-Centric Innovation: Future-Ready Today
We continually invest in the latest robotic platforms and
training, including:
- AI-assisted
surgical planning
- Dual
robotic systems for enhanced precision
- Remote
surgery capabilities in select locations
As a recognized center of excellence in robotic oncology,
Healthcare International is leading the evolution of surgical care across Asia
and beyond.
Real Patient Stories at Healthcare International
One of our recent patients — a 49-year-old executive — was
diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer. Within three weeks of diagnosis, he
underwent robotic prostatectomy and was discharged the next day. Three months
later, he reported:
- Full
continence
- Restored
sexual function
- Cancer-free
pathology
This is the level of care you can expect from the HCI team.
