📖 What is a Prostatectomy?
The prostate is a small gland, about the size of a walnut, found only in men. It sits below the bladder and wraps around the tube that carries urine out (urethra). It makes part of the fluid in semen. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men over 50. When found early, it is usually still inside the gland and can often be cured.
A radical prostatectomy is an operation to remove the whole prostate, the seminal vesicles (small glands behind it) and, when needed, nearby lymph nodes. The bladder is then joined back to the urethra. It can be done as open surgery, laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery or robotic-assisted surgery. Where possible the surgeon uses a nerve-sparing technique to protect the nerves that control erections.
🖼️ Understand It in Pictures
💡 In simple words
Prostatectomy is an operation to remove the prostate gland. It is most often done for prostate cancer that has not spread, and can be open, keyhole or robot-assisted.

🩺 Conditions Treated
🎗️
Localised prostate cancer
Cancer limited to the prostate – surgery aims to cure it.
📈
Intermediate-risk cancer
Gleason score 7 (Grade Group 2–3) or PSA 10–20 ng/mL in fit men.
⚠️
Selected high-risk cancer
Larger or higher-grade tumours, often with lymph node removal and later radiotherapy if needed.
🔁
Cancer growing on active surveillance
Low-risk cancer that starts to grow or rise in grade during monitoring.
🧬
Strong family history / young age
Younger men with long life expectancy who prefer removal of the gland.
🩺
Cancer after failed radiotherapy (salvage)
Selected cases at specialist centres – higher risk of side effects.
⚠️ Signs That May Lead to Prostate Cancer Treatment
- ➤Raised PSA blood test
- ➤Hard lump felt on rectal examination
- ➤Weak or slow urine flow
- ➤Passing urine often, especially at night
- ➤Blood in urine or semen
- ➤Difficulty starting or stopping urine
- ➤Erection problems (new)
- ➤Back or bone pain (in advanced disease)
💡 Not every prostate cancer needs surgery. Small, low-grade cancers (Grade Group 1) are often safely watched with active surveillance – regular PSA, MRI and biopsy. Radiotherapy is an equally effective alternative for many men. Cancer that has spread to bones or distant nodes is treated with hormone therapy and other medicines, not with prostatectomy alone.
🔬 Tests Before Treatment
| Test | Why it is done |
|---|---|
| PSA blood test | Measures prostate-specific antigen; used to assess risk and follow-up after surgery. |
| Multiparametric MRI of the prostate | Shows the size and location of the tumour and whether it has grown outside the gland. |
| Prostate biopsy (review of slides) | Confirms cancer and gives the Gleason score / Grade Group. |
| PSMA PET-CT or bone scan | Checks whether cancer has spread to lymph nodes or bones in intermediate and high-risk cases. |
| Blood tests, ECG, chest X-ray | Check fitness for anaesthesia and surgery. |
| Urine test | Rules out infection before surgery. |
🏥 The Procedure — Step by Step
1
Review of reports
The uro-oncologist reviews your PSA, MRI and biopsy and confirms surgery is the right choice.
2
Admission
You are admitted on the day of surgery after fasting, with a clot-prevention plan.
3
General anaesthesia
You are fully asleep during the operation.
4
Access
Robotic or laparoscopic: 5–6 small cuts in the abdomen. Open: one cut below the navel.
5
Lymph node removal (if needed)
Pelvic lymph nodes are removed to check for spread in higher-risk cancer.
6
Prostate removal
The prostate and seminal vesicles are freed and removed, sparing the erection nerves where safe.
7
Bladder-urethra joining
The bladder neck is stitched to the urethra over a urinary catheter.
8
Recovery
You walk and eat on the same or next day; a small drain may be removed before discharge.
9
Discharge with catheter
You go home or to your hotel on day 2 with the catheter in place.
10
Catheter removal and histopathology
Catheter is removed at about 7–10 days and the final biopsy report is discussed.
⚖️ Types & Techniques
| Technique | What is done | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) | Surgeon controls robotic arms through small cuts with 3D magnified view | Most men – less blood loss, short stay (higher cost) |
| Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy | Keyhole surgery with long instruments and a camera | Men wanting a minimally invasive option at lower cost |
| Open retropubic prostatectomy | One cut in the lower abdomen; prostate removed directly | Large prostate, previous abdominal surgery, centres without robots |
| Nerve-sparing prostatectomy | Erection nerve bundles on one or both sides are preserved | Men with good erections and cancer away from the nerves |
| Extended pelvic lymph node dissection | Removal of a wider set of pelvic nodes | Intermediate and high-risk cancer |
📊 In the ProtecT trial (NEJM, 2016 and 2023 updates) men with localised prostate cancer treated with surgery, radiotherapy or monitoring had very high prostate-cancer survival – about 97% at 15 years – and surgery lowered the chance of cancer spreading compared with monitoring.
📅 Your Day-by-Day Plan in India
| Day | What happens |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Arrival in India ✈️, airport pick-up, hotel check-in, meeting with the coordinator |
| Day 2–4 | Consultation with the uro-oncologist, review of biopsy slides, MRI / PSMA PET-CT if needed, fitness tests |
| Day 5 | Admission and radical prostatectomy surgery |

🌱 Recovery After Treatment
🛏️
Days 1–2
Walk the same day or next day, drink fluids, start eating; discharge with catheter.
🚿
Week 1–2
Catheter for about 7–10 days; light walking; avoid lifting more than 5 kg.
💧
Weeks 2–6
Some urine leakage is normal after catheter removal; daily pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises.
💼
Weeks 3–6
Return to desk work in about 3–4 weeks; heavier work at about 6 weeks.
🩸
3 months
First PSA test – it should be very low (undetectable) if all cancer is removed.
❤️
6–24 months
Bladder control improves for up to a year; erections may take 1–2 years to recover.
🏆 Success Rate
| Outcome | Result |
|---|---|
| Prostate cancer survival at 10–15 years (localised disease) | About 95–99% |
| Urine control (no pads or 1 safety pad) at 12 months | About 85–95% |
| Erections with nerve-sparing (with or without tablets) at 1–2 years | About 40–70%, depends on age and earlier function |
| PSA undetectable after surgery | Most men with organ-confined cancer |
| Need for added radiotherapy later | About 20–30%, mostly in higher-risk cancer |
Results depend on the cancer stage and grade, PSA level, the surgeon's experience, and your age and erection and bladder function before surgery. Robotic and open surgery have similar cancer results in trials.
🩹 Risks & Possible Complications
Radical prostatectomy is a major operation; the most common side effects affect bladder control and sexual function.
- •Urine leakage – common in the first weeks, improves in most men; about 5–10% have long-term leakage
- •Erection problems – common; recovery depends on nerve-sparing and age, tablets and other treatments help
- •No ejaculation (dry orgasm) and infertility – in all men after surgery
- •Bleeding needing transfusion – under 2–5% with keyhole or robotic surgery
- •Urine infection or leak at the joint – about 1–5%
- •Narrowing at the bladder–urethra joint – about 1–3% with robotic surgery
- •Blood clots, lymph fluid collection (lymphocele) or injury to the bowel – rare, under 1–2%
💰 Cost of Radical Prostatectomy in India
The cost of radical prostatectomy in India starts from about USD 3,000 for this package with 2 days in a single room. The final price depends mainly on the technique – open, laparoscopic or robotic – the need for lymph node removal, the hospital and the length of stay.
| Option / Hospital tier | Approx. cost (USD) | Hospital stay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prostatectomy – Single room (this package) | 3,000 | 2 days | Starting price; technique confirmed after review |
| Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy | 4,500 – 6,000 | 2–4 days | Keyhole surgery with lymph node removal if needed |
| Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy | 7,000 – 9,500 | 2–3 days | Da Vinci or similar robot; most popular option |

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
➤ How much does prostatectomy cost in India?
This package starts from about USD 3,000 with 2 days in a single room. Laparoscopic surgery usually costs about USD 4,500–6,000 and robotic surgery about USD 7,000–9,500, depending on the hospital.
➤ How long will I be in hospital?
About 2 days for keyhole or robotic surgery. Open surgery may need 4–6 days.
➤ How long should I stay in India?
Plan for about 2–3 weeks. This covers tests, surgery, catheter removal at 7–10 days and the final biopsy report.
➤ Will surgery cure my prostate cancer?
If the cancer is confined to the prostate, surgery cures most men. Some men with higher-risk cancer need radiotherapy later if PSA rises.
➤ Will I leak urine after surgery?
Most men have some leakage after the catheter is removed. With pelvic floor exercises, about 85–95% are dry or need only one safety pad by 12 months.
➤ Will I still have erections?
It depends on your age, erections before surgery and whether nerves can be spared. Recovery can take 1–2 years and tablets or other treatments help many men.
➤ Is robotic surgery better than open surgery?
Robotic surgery has less blood loss, less pain and a shorter stay. Long-term cancer control and urine and erection results are similar in good hands.
➤ Can I have children after prostatectomy?
Semen is no longer produced, so natural conception is not possible. Sperm banking before surgery can be arranged if you wish.
➤ Is surgery better than radiotherapy?
Both have similar cure rates for localised cancer. Surgery gives a full biopsy of the gland; radiotherapy avoids an operation but can affect the bowel. Your doctor will explain which suits you.
➤ Is it painful?
Pain after keyhole or robotic surgery is usually mild and controlled with tablets. The catheter can feel uncomfortable but is temporary.
➤ When can I return to work?
Most men return to desk work in 3–4 weeks and heavier work at about 6 weeks.
➤ Which reports do I need to send?
Send your PSA results, prostate MRI, biopsy report and any PET-CT or bone scan. These are enough for a free opinion within 48–72 hours.
