Recovery of erectile function varies significantly among individuals.

Factors affecting recovery include:

• Age
• Preoperative erectile function
• Diabetes and cardiovascular disease
• Overall vascular health
• Whether nerve-sparing surgery was possible

Some patients experience improvement within several months, while others may require a longer recovery period.

After the prostate is removed, the bladder is carefully reconnected to the urethra using a watertight surgical connection (anastomosis).

Thanks to the precision offered by robotic surgery, this reconstruction can be performed very accurately.

Unless there are special circumstances, the urinary catheter is typically removed on the 7th postoperative day. International patients usually return from their hotel or accommodation to the clinic for catheter removal, wound assessment, and final postoperative evaluation.

No surgical treatment can guarantee complete elimination of cancer in every patient.

Treatment success depends on several factors, including:

• Cancer stage
• PSA level
• Gleason Grade Group
• Tumor volume and extent
• Pathological characteristics

However, robotic surgery provides excellent visualization, particularly of the prostate apex, where surgical precision is critically important.

Nerve-sparing surgery is a specialized technique designed to preserve the neurovascular bundles responsible for erectile function whenever it is oncologically safe to do so.

The magnified vision provided by robotic surgery allows these delicate structures to be identified and preserved with greater precision.

Erectile function may be affected following prostate cancer surgery because the nerves responsible for erections run immediately adjacent to the prostate gland.

Whether these nerves can be preserved depends primarily on the location and extent of the cancer.
