Frequently-asked questions about robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove the prostate gland in cases of prostate cancer. This approach offers greater precision, reduced recovery time and fewer complications compared to traditional open surgery. Below are some common questions patients have about the procedure.

NanoKnife: A groundbreaking approach to treating prostate cancer

NanoKnife is an innovative treatment for prostate cancer that uses irreversible electroporation (IRE) to target cancerous cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. This non-thermal, minimally invasive technique is gaining attention as an alternative to traditional treatments like surgery and radiotherapy, particularly for localised prostate cancer.

Retrograde neuro-sparing robotic prostatectomy: what you need to know

Prostate cancer treatment has seen remarkable advancements, particularly with the introduction of robotic surgery techniques. For patients with organ-confined prostate cancer, robotic radical prostatectomy offers a minimally invasive option with precision that enhances outcomes. Techniques such as retrograde nerve sparing allow surgeons to better preserve erectile function and urinary control while minimising recovery time. Leading consultant urological and robotic prostate surgeon Mr Jonathan Noël explores the benefits of robotic surgery, the unique retrograde nerve-sparing approach, and what patients can expect during their recovery journey.
