⦿ VIU and Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
• Procedure: Dr. Shah executed a combined cystoscopic urethrotomy and a minimally invasive robotic prostatectomy.
• Lymph Nodes: A systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed, with fifteen total nodes retrieved for accurate staging.
• Safety: The robotic approach allowed for extreme precision, resulting in minimal blood loss and stable vitals.
• Cancer Clearance: The surgical team achieved completely negative margins, successfully removing a tumor involving 50% of the gland.
⦿ Organ-Confined Clearance and Rapid Mobilization
The patient demonstrated a smooth postoperative recovery, achieving early ambulation and maintaining hemodynamic stability throughout his hospital stay. Final pathology confirmed a pT2N0 stage, indicating the high-grade cancer was entirely organ-confined with zero lymph node involvement. He was discharged in stable condition with a clear follow-up protocol and an excellent functional prognosis.
Even with an aggressive Gleason 8 score, robotic surgery allows us to achieve curative results when the disease is organ-confined. By combining urethral repair with precise robotic excision, we effectively cleared the cancer while prioritizing the patient’s rapid return to normal urinary function.
