Precision for prostate, bladder and kidney cancer

Robotic-assisted surgery is the most requested uro-oncology referral MedTrav coordinates, most often for prostate cancer — offering the precision of magnified 3D visualisation with the smaller incisions and faster recovery of minimally invasive surgery.

Robotic prostatectomy

Complete removal of the prostate gland using robotic assistance, with nerve-sparing technique used where the tumour's location allows.

Robotic cystectomy

Robotic-assisted bladder removal for eligible bladder cancer cases, including urinary diversion reconstruction.

Robotic nephrectomy

Partial or complete robotic kidney removal for kidney cancer, preserving healthy kidney tissue where possible.

From referral to discharge

How the case typically moves

Biopsy & staging reviewed remotely

Biopsy results, PSA levels and staging imaging reviewed by a urologic oncologist before you travel.

Tumour board confirms the plan

A multidisciplinary panel confirms robotic surgery is appropriate and whether nerve-sparing is feasible.

0Pre-operative work-up

Anaesthesia clearance and final imaging completed shortly after arrival.

1Robotic surgery

Performed by the confirmed surgical team, typically 2–4 hours depending on the procedure.

2Recovery & catheter care

Inpatient recovery followed by catheter care guidance for the 1–2 weeks after discharge.

3Pathology & follow-on plan

Final pathology confirms whether further treatment is needed, shared with your home urologist.

What this actually covers, and what it doesn't: Reconstruction method after cystectomy is the biggest cost driver for bladder cancer cases — MedTrav's estimate specifies exactly which approach your case needs before you travel.

Frequently asked

Questions patients ask about this procedure

What is robotic prostatectomy?

A minimally invasive surgical removal of the prostate gland (for prostate cancer) using a robotic surgical system controlled by the surgeon — offering smaller incisions, less blood loss and typically faster recovery than open surgery.

Is robotic surgery available for bladder cancer too?

Yes — robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (bladder removal) is available at several partner hospitals for eligible bladder cancer cases, alongside robotic options for kidney cancer (partial or radical nephrectomy).

How does robotic surgery affect continence and sexual function after prostatectomy?

Nerve-sparing techniques, where oncologically appropriate, aim to preserve these functions better than older open techniques — your surgeon will discuss what's realistic for your specific case based on tumour location and stage.

How long is the hospital stay for robotic prostatectomy?

Typically 3–5 days, followed by catheter care for 1–2 weeks after discharge — shorter than the 7–10 day stay often needed for open prostatectomy.

Will I need additional treatment after surgery?

Depends on pathology results — some cases need no further treatment, others may need radiation (see our IMRT/IGRT page) if margins or lymph node involvement are found, confirmed by your urologic oncology team.
