Radical prostatectomy
Radical prostatectomy is a surgical treatment for prostate cancer.

How surgery works and how approaches differ
Radical prostatectomy is a surgical treatment for prostate cancer. It can be performed as open surgery or with robotic assistance. A 2021 Brazilian expert consensus described comparable cancer control and complication rates for these approaches, while suggesting possible advantages in bladder control and erectile function with robotic surgery. This is not a guarantee of a better result for an individual patient.
Robotic surgery also has different approaches. A 2026 international expert consensus on single-port robotic surgery emphasized choosing the approach according to the individual patient and the surgeon’s expertise. Its recommendations still require validation in larger clinical studies.
When surgery may help and what alternatives to discuss
The 2021 Brazilian consensus describes radical prostatectomy as a commonly used treatment for localized or locally advanced prostate cancer in men with a life expectancy of at least ten years. This describes a broad treatment population, not a rule that everyone in that group needs surgery.
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a less-invasive treatment studied as an alternative for selected men with localized prostate cancer. A 2026 review found a trade-off: focal HIFU was associated with better preservation of erections and fewer major complications, but HIFU overall was associated with a lower likelihood of remaining free from further treatment for cancer. The studies differed substantially, and some had relatively short follow-up. Finding no statistically significant difference in cancer spread or biochemical recurrence does not establish that the treatments are equivalent in the long term.
Expected outcomes and limits of the evidence
Results depend on which patients and which operation are studied. A 2026 review included 18 studies involving 3,881 patients with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. For surgery with extended lymph node dissection, the pooled estimate of remaining free from biochemical recurrence—recurrence detected through prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing—was 85% at two years and 72% at five years. The reported 95% confidence intervals were 81–88% and 66–78%, respectively. These are pooled estimates from the review, not outcomes measured in every one of the 3,881 patients at both time points.
Being free from biochemical recurrence is not the same as being cured or surviving for a particular length of time. This review did not compare the combined operation against a control group, so it cannot establish that adding extended lymph node dissection improves survival. Its results should not be applied to all prostate cancer risk groups or presented as the results of a particular surgeon or clinic.
Risks to discuss with your surgeon
Urinary leakage and erectile dysfunction are important functional concerns after radical prostatectomy. The 2021 Brazilian consensus discusses both when comparing surgical approaches. A 2025 British Association of Urological Surgeons consensus specifically addresses assessment and treatment of urinary leakage after prostatectomy, including non-surgical and surgical management.
Further cancer treatment may also be needed after surgery. The 2024 AUA/ASTRO/SUO guidelines address decisions and treatment after suspected or confirmed biochemical recurrence. This is a different clinical situation from choosing the initial operation.

Recovery and follow-up care
Care after prostatectomy can include help with urinary leakage as well as assessment of possible cancer recurrence. The 2025 British consensus covers assessment, non-surgical care, surgery for leakage and follow-up after that treatment. The 2024 AUA/ASTRO/SUO guidance emphasizes coordinated care across specialties when further cancer treatment is being considered.
For prostate cancer that returns after surgery without evidence of distant spread, salvage radiotherapy—radiation treatment given after recurrence—is an established treatment. A 2026 review examined adding hormone therapy to radiation after prostatectomy. It found benefits in delaying progression, but the overall survival finding was less robust: it was no longer statistically significant when one trial was removed from the analysis. These findings concern additional treatment after surgery, not the expected outcome of prostatectomy alone.

What the programme includesRobotic Prostatectomy (Multiport) in Turkey Included: Robotic da Vinci prostatectomy Included: Prostatectomy Included: Laparoscopic prostatectomy Included: Follow-up examination Included: VIP transfer (premium vehicle service, all transfers between airport, hotel and clinic) Excluded: Airfare Excluded: Hotel Excluded: Additional activities not included Excluded: Accommodation is not included Stay: 1 days in the hospital Stay: 1 day in the hotel Additional source terms: For patients undergoing robotic prostatectomy (multiport), we follow a standardized preoperative preparation protocol. As part of the routine preoperative assessment, all patients undergo: * Blood tests * Urine analysis * Urine culture * Chest X-ray * Electrocardiogram (ECG) These evaluations are included in the surgical package and do not require any additional payment. For patients under the age of 38, only blood and urine tests are required. For patients aged 38 and above, a more comprehensive assessment is performed, including blood tests, urine analysis, ECG, and a chest X-ray. Our primary concern is to ensure that there is no urinary tract infection. If the urine culture result is clear (no bacterial growth), and depending on availability, the surgery can be scheduled as early as the following day, based on the patient’s preference. During the anesthesia process, every patient is carefully evaluated by our anesthesiologist. The final decision regarding surgical eligibility is made jointly by the anesthesiology team and the attending physician. After the procedure, patients are typically able to return to their normal daily activities either on the same day or the following day, depending on their overall condition. |
