Robotic Penile Cancer Surgery

Robotic penile cancer surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed using the da Vinci robotic system to treat penile cancer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. This approach enhances surgical precision, reduces complications, and improves post-operative recovery compared to traditional open surgery. It is particularly beneficial for complex cases requiring lymph node dissection or reconstructive procedures.

Who Needs Robotic Penile Cancer Surgery?

This procedure is recommended for patients diagnosed with:

  • Penile cancer (early or advanced stages)

  • Locally advanced disease requiring lymph node removal

  • Recurrent penile cancer requiring re-excision

  • Patients needing reconstructive surgery post-tumor removal

Dr. Sachin Arakere Nataraj, a leading robotic uro-oncologist, evaluates each case carefully to determine the most effective treatment approach.

Benefits of Robotic Penile Cancer Surgery (Pros)

Minimally Invasive: Small incisions mean less pain, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery.
High Precision: Robotic-assisted surgery allows for better tumor removal while preserving function.
Reduced Blood Loss & Infection Risk: Compared to open surgery, robotic techniques minimize surgical complications.
Improved Functional & Cosmetic Outcomes: Where possible, nerve-sparing and reconstructive techniques help maintain function and appearance.
Faster Recovery & Shorter Hospital Stay: Most patients experience a quicker return to daily activities.

Potential Risks & Considerations (Cons)

Surgical Complexity: Requires an experienced robotic surgeon like Dr. Sachin Arakere Nataraj for optimal results.
Possible Erectile Dysfunction: Depending on the tumor’s extent, nerve function may be affected.
Risk of Lymphedema: If lymph node removal is necessary, swelling in the groin or legs may occur.
Not Suitable for All Cases: Some advanced cases may still require partial or total penectomy (removal of the penis).
