Robotic Prostectomy Surgeons
Robotic prostate surgery represents a minimally invasive method for treating prostate cancer. Compared to traditional open surgery, it reduces complications, minimises pain, and speeds up recovery, offering a more comfortable treatment experience for patients.
Choosing the right surgeon is crucial for successful treatment. Dr. Edward Calleja, an expert urologist based in Sussex, specialises in robotic prostatectomy and advanced treatments for urological cancers. As the leader of a multidisciplinary team at the East Sussex Regional Centre, Dr. Calleja works alongside top oncologists, urologists, and radiologists to create customised treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs, using the latest medical advancements to ensure the best outcomes.
The Advantages of Robotic Prostatectomy:
Robotic-assisted surgery has transformed prostate cancer treatment with its numerous benefits:
- Minimally Invasive: With smaller incisions, patients experience less pain and a faster healing process.
- Precision at Its Best: Robotic technology allows for exceptional accuracy, helping to reduce surgical risks and maintain critical functions.
- Quick Recovery: Patients typically face shorter hospital stays and can return to their daily routines much sooner.
Is Robotic Surgery Right for You?
This advanced technique is particularly effective for treating localised or locally advanced prostate cancer, where the cancer is confined to the prostate or has slightly spread. Each patient’s treatment plan is carefully evaluated to ensure they receive the most suitable approach based on the stage of their cancer, their overall health, and personal treatment goals.
