How Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) is performed
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is performed after specialist evaluation. Nerve-sparing and pelvic lymph node dissection can be selected depending on the situation. Instruments are usually inserted through a laparoscopic approach, the prostate is dissected under high-definition magnified vision, and related structures are disconnected. Bladder and urethral reconstruction is completed, the specimen is removed, and drainage is left in place. Postoperatively, bleeding, urine output, and pain are assessed under monitoring, and eating and activity are gradually increased. The goal is to remove the lesion and preserve urinary control and erectile function as much as possible. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
