Prostatectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove part or all of the prostate gland. This procedure is commonly carried out as part of prostate cancer treatment and can also be used to manage benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate.
At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, prostatectomy can be performed using the advanced da Vinci Xi robotic surgical system. Equipped with four robotic arms, this technology enables highly precise and minimally invasive procedures.

Robotic Prostatectomy with da Vinci Xi at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
The da Vinci Xi is an advanced robotic surgical system featuring four high-precision robotic arms, fully controlled by the surgeon through a dedicated console with high-resolution 3D visualization. This system allows surgeons to view anatomical structures more clearly, sharply, and in greater detail during surgery.
In addition, the robotic arms are highly flexible and capable of mimicking human hand movements on a smaller scale. This advantage enables surgeons to access narrow and hard-to-reach areas, allowing procedures to be performed with greater accuracy and potentially improving surgical outcomes.
Prostatectomy Procedure with da Vinci Xi
In general, the prostatectomy procedure using the da Vinci Xi robotic system includes the following steps:
-
Insertion of instruments through small incisions
Using this advanced surgical system, miniaturized robotic instruments are inserted through several small incisions in the patient’s abdomen. This technique allows the surgeon to remove the prostate gland and surrounding tissues with high precision, while being less invasive than conventional open surgery.
-
3D visualization to protect vital structures
During robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, a three-dimensional (3D) endoscope and advanced imaging system provide a magnified and clearer view of the surgical area. This enables the surgeon to identify and preserve important structures around the prostate, such as nerves, blood vessels, and muscles, minimizing the risk of damage.

Surgeon-controlled robotic system via console
For most of the procedure, the surgeon operates from a specialized console. The micro-instruments offer enhanced flexibility, even exceeding the range of motion of the human wrist, allowing highly precise movements without the surgeon’s hands entering the patient’s body.
