Surgery for prostate cancer involves removing the prostate gland and the surrounding tissue. A procedure known as a radical prostatectomy. This is done under general anaesthesia and typically involves a hospital stay of 3-4 days. Surgery aims to remove the cancerous tissue and prevent it from spreading to other parts of the body.

Robot assisted laparoscopic surgery utilizing Da Vinci Xi offers several advantages over traditional open surgery , including, smaller incision, less pain, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stay and faster recovery times, leading to improved patient outcomes and quicker return to normal activities

In robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), the surgeon operates from a console while a bedside assistant, often referred to as the "bedside surgeon," works at the patient's side. The bedside surgeon's role is critical for optimizing the surgical field and assisting with instrument manipulation and tissue retraction, as the robotic system requires their expertise. While the primary surgeon operates the robotic arms, the bedside surgeon's experience and skills significantly influence the procedure's outcomes, particularly during the surgeon's learning curve.

Carcinoma p***s is a rare malignancy which mostly occurs after the sixth decade of life. It is managed surgically and partial penectomy is the most common procedure done in carcinoma involving the distal p***s. Partial penectomy provides the opportunity of preservation of sexual function and enables the patient to micturate in standing position. With Jose Ongkeko, Adam Eleccion, Michael Angelo Cobangbang.
