Cancer control comes first
The goal is to remove the cancer-bearing prostate with an operation matched to the patient's cancer pattern and health. Nerve preservation is important, but not at the expense of cancer safety.
Robotic Prostate Cancer Surgery
Robotic prostate cancer surgery with Dr. Domenico Savatta.
For men considering robotic radical prostatectomy, this page explains the operation itself: removing the prostate and seminal vesicles, deciding whether nerves can be safely preserved or need wider removal, reconnecting the bladder and urethra, and using a temporary catheter while healing begins.

Nerve decisions are side-specific
A patient may be a candidate for bilateral nerve sparing, one-sided nerve sparing, partial sparing, or non-nerve-sparing surgery depending on MRI, biopsy, exam, and intraoperative judgment.
Recovery starts with the catheter plan
Patients should understand the bladder-to-urethra reconnection, temporary catheter, continence recovery, pelvic-floor work, erectile-function rehabilitation, and PSA follow-up before surgery.
Robotic prostatectomy anatomy
The steps patients should understand before surgery.
Robotic prostatectomy is prostate cancer surgery, not a generic robotic procedure. The operation removes the prostate when surgery is the selected treatment, preserves nerves only where safe, reconnects the urinary channel, and uses a catheter while the anastomosis begins to heal.
Prostate and cancer map
Before surgery, PSA, MRI, biopsy findings, urinary function, erections, and overall health shape whether robotic prostatectomy is the right treatment.
Prostate removal
Robotic radical prostatectomy removes the prostate and seminal vesicles. Nearby lymph nodes may be removed when staging or risk assessment calls for it.
Nerves spared or removed
Nerve-sparing can be planned on one or both sides when cancer safety allows it. If tumor location or risk makes sparing unsafe, wider removal may be recommended.
Anastomosis and catheter
The bladder is reconnected to the urethra, called the anastomosis. A temporary catheter supports urine drainage while the connection heals.
These are simplified educational diagrams, not surgical instructions or a promise that every patient has the same anatomy, cancer pattern, nerve-sparing candidacy, catheter timing, or recovery.
