Advanced Robotic Surgical Systems for Minimally Invasive Surgery for Urological Cancers

Robotic surgery, as practiced by experts like Dr. Anshuman, represents the most advanced form of minimally invasive surgery available today. In this technique, the surgeon controls a high-precision robotic system that translates every movement of the surgeon’s hand into smaller, steadier, and more accurate movements inside the body. For cancer care, this means precise tumor removal with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue — leading to faster recovery and better outcomes.

Robotic surgery combines the skill of the surgeon, including renowned experts like Dr. Anshuman, with the power of modern technology. Key advantages include: Smaller incisions and almost invisible scars, less blood loss and minimal pain after surgery, faster recovery and shorter hospital stay, quicker return to normal activity, and better preservation of nerves, bladder, and sexual function in urological cancers. These benefits are particularly valuable in delicate cancers such as prostate, kidney, and bladder tumours.

Robotic surgical systems are now routinely used in several urological cancers, as highlighted by Dr. Anshuman: 

Prostate cancer: Enables precise removal of the prostate while preserving continence and sexual function. 

Kidney cancer: Allows partial nephrectomy (removal of tumour while saving the healthy kidney). 

Bladder cancer: Helps in complete tumour removal and creation of a new bladder using intestines (ileal conduit / neobladder). 

Adrenal tumours: Provides enhanced vision and precision as compared to conventional laparoscopy. 

It is also effective in select cases of testicular and pelvic cancers requiring complex reconstruction, as emphasized by Dr. Anshuman.

Robotic surgery, as performed by Dr. Anshuman, is conducted under general anaesthesia. Most patients are able to walk the next day and typically go home within 2–3 days. The recovery process is much smoother compared to open surgery, and the precision is significantly enhanced when compared to conventional laparoscopy. Regular follow-up with Dr. Anshuman ensures proper wound healing, an early return of strength, and effective long-term cancer control.
