After robotic prostate surgery, recovery time is much shorter compared to that of traditional open prostatectomy or laparoscopic prostatectomy. The majority of our patients are back to normal daily activities within 1-2 weeks.
Randomized trials have shown an improvement in progression-free survival rates with adjuvant radiation therapy (ART). This treatment takes place soon, within 2 to 4 months, after a radical prostatectomy for patients with a high risk of cancer recurrence. Less is known about the relative advantages and disadvantages of initial observation with delayed salvage radiation therapy (SRT). This treatment takes place some time after a radical prostatectomy but only when there is evidence from a rising or detectable PSA that indicates a recurrence. SRT is local radiation to the prostate bed alone (the area around where the prostate was located before surgery).
