For men undergoing surgery for prostate cancer, one of the greatest concerns is maintaining urinary continence and sexual function after treatment. A nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy is a highly advanced procedure designed to remove the prostate while protecting the delicate nerves responsible for these functions.

Performed using robotic-assisted technology, this minimally invasive surgery provides the surgeon with enhanced 3D vision, precision, and control. By carefully preserving the neurovascular bundles surrounding the prostate, patients have a higher likelihood of retaining natural erectile function and bladder control, while still achieving effective cancer control.

Professor Prokar Dasgupta OBE is a world-renowned expert in nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy. As a consultant urologist at Guy’s Hospital and Professor of Robotic Surgery at King’s College London, he has performed thousands of robotic prostate procedures. His approach prioritizes both cancer outcomes and post-operative quality of life, combining meticulous surgical technique with the latest robotic technology.

What patients can expect:
Before surgery, patients undergo thorough assessments including imaging and personalised planning. During the procedure, Prokar Dasgupta carefully identifies and preserves critical nerves wherever possible. Post-operative recovery often involves a shorter hospital stay and guided rehabilitation to support continence and sexual function. Follow-up includes monitoring PSA levels and personalised care to optimise long-term wellbeing.

Why it matters:
Choosing an experienced surgeon is crucial for achieving both cancer control and functional preservation. Patients under Professor Dasgupta’s care benefit from a combination of advanced robotic technology, extensive surgical expertise, and a patient-focused approach. Testimonials often highlight successful outcomes and compassionate care, reinforcing the value of expert nerve-sparing surgery.

For men facing prostate cancer surgery, a nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy with Prokar Dasgupta offers the best chance to maintain quality of life while effectively treating the disease.
