Recovering from prostate cancer surgery can feel daunting, but real-life experiences show the difference that expert care and advanced technology make. One patient shared, “From the moment I met Professor Prokar Dasgupta, I felt confident. The robotic surgery went smoothly, and my recovery was faster than I expected. I’m back to my normal life and […]

obotic prostate cancer surgery has transformed how prostate cancer is treated, offering men less invasive procedures, faster recovery, and precise cancer control. In 2026, these surgeries are more advanced than ever, thanks to improvements in robotic technology, imaging, and surgical techniques. Professor Prokar Dasgupta OBE remains at the forefront of these innovations. As one of […]

Preparing for a robotic prostatectomy can help reduce anxiety, optimise recovery, and improve surgical outcomes. A robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed using advanced robotic technology, allowing surgeons like Professor Prokar Dasgupta OBE to remove the prostate with precision while sparing nerves critical for urinary and sexual function. Pre-surgery checklist for patients By […]

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 […]

Recovering from a robotic prostatectomy is a journey that varies for each patient, but understanding what to expect can help you prepare and achieve the best outcomes. A robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgery that removes the prostate gland using advanced robotic technology. Under the care of an experienced surgeon like Professor Prokar Dasgupta […]

When facing prostate cancer surgery, patients often ask: should I choose robotic prostatectomy or traditional open surgery? Understanding the differences can help you make an informed decision that balances safety, recovery, and long-term outcomes. Robotic prostatectomy, also called robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, uses advanced robotic technology to perform keyhole surgery. Small incisions allow surgeons to operate […]

For men facing a diagnosis of prostate cancer, selecting the right surgeon for a robotic prostatectomy can make a significant difference in both cancer control and quality of life after surgery. Robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses advanced robotic systems to remove the prostate gland with greater precision, reduced blood loss, and […]

A radical robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the prostate gland in men diagnosed with prostate cancer. Unlike traditional open surgery, this advanced approach uses robotic-assisted technology, giving surgeons enhanced precision, 3D vision, and improved control during surgery. The result is often less blood loss, smaller incisions, and a faster recovery. When […]

Genetic testing is playing an increasingly important role in how prostate cancer risk is identified and managed. One of the most significant genetic factors is the presence of mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. While often associated with breast and ovarian cancer, BRCA mutations are also strongly linked to prostate cancer, particularly more aggressive […]

Choosing the right treatment for prostate cancer can feel daunting. With several options available, it’s natural to wonder which approach offers the best balance of cancer control, recovery, and long-term quality of life. One increasingly popular option is robotic prostatectomy—a minimally invasive procedure using advanced robotic technology to remove the prostate with exceptional precision. But […]
