Expert Robotic Prostate Cancer Specialist based in London
Expert robotic surgery offers one of the most advanced and precise treatments for prostate cancer today. Using cutting-edge robotic technology, surgeons can remove cancer with exceptional accuracy while protecting surrounding nerves and structures. Prokar Dasgupta provides his patients the benefits from world-leading expertise, innovative nerve-sparing techniques, and a highly personalised approach—designed to maximise cancer control while preserving quality of life.
What is robotic surgery for prostate cancer?
Robotic prostate cancer surgery (robot-assisted radical prostatectomy) is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove the prostate gland when cancer is present.
The surgeon controls robotic instruments via a console, providing:
- High-definition 3D visualisation
- Enhanced precision and control
- Greater accuracy in delicate areas
This allows for more refined surgery compared to traditional open techniques, particularly when working around critical nerves and tissues.

Why choose expert robotic surgery?
When it comes to prostate cancer surgery, expertise matters. Choosing a highly experienced robotic surgeon can lead to:
- Improved cancer removal outcomes
- Better preservation of urinary continence
- Greater likelihood of maintaining erectile function
- Reduced complications
- Faster recovery times
Robotic technology is powerful—but outcomes depend heavily on the skill and experience of the surgeon using it.

Advanced nerve-sparing techniques
One of the key priorities in prostate cancer surgery is protecting the nerves responsible for erectile function and urinary control.
Advanced nerve-sparing approaches:
- Carefully preserve delicate nerve structures
- Reduce the risk of long-term side effects
- Support faster functional recovery
Innovations such as saline-assisted techniques improve visibility and precision, helping optimise outcomes for suitable patients.

Benefits of robotic prostate surgery
Compared to traditional open surgery, robotic techniques offer:
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Less blood loss during surgery
- Reduced post-operative pain
- Shorter hospital stays (typically 1–2 days)
- Faster return to normal activities
- Improved precision in cancer removal
Who is suitable for robotic prostate surgery?
Robotic prostatectomy is typically recommended for men with prostate cancer that is confined to the prostate.
You may be suitable if:
- Your cancer is localised or locally advanced
- You are fit for surgery
- You are seeking a treatment with curative intent
A full assessment—including imaging, PSA levels, and biopsy results—helps determine the best approach for each individual.

Success rates and outcomes
When performed by an expert surgeon, robotic prostate cancer surgery delivers excellent outcomes:
- High rates of cancer control
- Strong likelihood of regaining urinary continence
- Improved chances of preserving erectile function (when nerve-sparing is possible)
Outcomes vary depending on individual factors, but expert-led robotic surgery is designed to balance cancer treatment with quality of life.
