We hear expert insight from esteemed consultant urological and robotic surgeon Mr Benjamin Lamb on the key outcomes to consider following radical prostatectomy surgery in order to evaluate success and determine the impact on patients’ lives.
NeuroSAFE is an increasingly popular procedure used to minimise sexual dysfunction after prostate cancer surgery. Leading consultant urological and robotic surgeon Mr Benjamin Lamb explains more about the procedure, including how it works and its benefits.
There are numerous different ways in which men can try to maintain their sexual function following RARP. There are integral components to sexual function, which must be taken into consideration, particularly after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP surgery). In the second article of a two-part series, esteemed consultant urological and robotic surgeon Mr Benjamin Lamb discusses how men can enhance their sexual function following the surgery.
Prostate cancer creates a huge amount of stress for men, and many are concerned about the effects of robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) on their sexual function. We speak to experienced consultant urological and robotic surgeon Mr Benjamin Lamb who clears up any concerns you may have.
Robotic Retzius-sparing radical prostatectomy is a surgical technique which is used for the treatment of prosate cancer. It is a minimally invasive surgical technique. The surgery involves use of a surgical robot to remove the prostate gland while sparing the Retzius space. This is a potential space between the bladder and prostate gland. During the RRP procedure, several small incisions will be made in the abdomen. The surgeon will insert small surgical instruments and a camera attached to the robotic arms.
The Da Vinci robot is used in minimally invasive surgical techniques which are becoming increasingly popular in urological procedures. Highly experienced London-based consultant urological and robotic surgeon Mr Benjamin Lamb discusses how this robotic system has benefited urology, looking at the types of surgery that it can aid, the recovery time, and other benefits.
