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.
