Prostate Cancer / Prostatectomy in India
Also known as radical prostatectomy, robotic prostatectomy, prostate removal surgery, prostate cancer surgery, robotic-assisted prostatectomy
The short answer
Prostatectomy for prostate cancer in India costs USD 5,500–10,000, including robotic-assisted or open surgical removal of the prostate gland. The surgery takes 2–4 hours under general anaesthesia, needs 4–6 days in hospital, and full recovery takes 4–6 weeks.
About Prostate Cancer / Prostatectomy
Radical prostatectomy is the surgical removal of the prostate gland and surrounding tissue, performed to treat localised or locally advanced prostate cancer. The goal is to remove the cancer completely while preserving, as much as possible, urinary control and sexual function.
The procedure can be done as open surgery through a lower abdominal incision, laparoscopically through small keyhole incisions, or via robotic-assisted surgery, which offers greater precision and faster recovery. Robotic prostatectomy has become the preferred approach at most major centres due to reduced blood loss, smaller scars, and shorter hospital stays.
Who needs this procedure
Men diagnosed with organ-confined or locally advanced prostate cancer, confirmed through biopsy, PSA levels, and imaging (MRI or PET scan), are typically advised prostatectomy when the cancer has not spread beyond the prostate and surrounding tissue.
