#006 - Robotic Prostatectomy: Single Port vs. Multiport – What You Need to Know

  • Summary

  • In this episode, we dive deep into the world of robotic prostatectomy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure for prostate cancer. We explore the two main approaches: Single Port (SP) and Multiport (MP) robotic surgery, breaking down their differences, benefits, and considerations. Whether you are a patient, caregiver, or just curious about advancements in urologic surgery, this episode will provide you with valuable insights into these cutting-edge techniques.

    ✔️ What is Robotic Prostatectomy? Understanding this advanced surgical approach and how it compares to traditional open surgery.

    ✔️ Multiport Robotic Prostatectomy: The standard technique using multiple small incisions for optimal control and flexibility.

    ✔️ Single Port Robotic Prostatectomy: A newer, minimally invasive approach using a single incision for potentially faster recovery and better cosmetic results.

    ✔️ Comparing the Two Techniques: Key differences in recovery time, scarring, instrument control, and surgeon expertise.

    ✔️ Who is a Candidate? Factors that determine whether Single Port or Multiport is the best option for a patient.

    ✔️ Benefits and Risks: A discussion on the advantages of robotic surgery, potential complications, and what to expect during recovery.

    ✔️ What to Ask Your Surgeon: Essential questions to consider when discussing robotic prostatectomy as a treatment option.

    🔹 Both Single Port and Multiport robotic prostatectomy are highly effective options for prostate cancer treatment. 🔹 Multiport is widely used, offers superior dexterity, and is familiar to most surgeons. 🔹 Single Port is newer, involves fewer incisions, and may lead to quicker recovery but requires specialized expertise. 🔹 Recovery is generally faster compared to open surgery, with most patients going home within 24 hours. 🔹 Choosing the right approach depends on tumor characteristics, patient anatomy, and surgeon experience.
