Dr. Rakesh Kumar Pandey specializes in performing radical prostatectomy, a surgical procedure designed to remove the entire prostate gland along with surrounding tissues. This procedure can be conducted through open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery. It is often recommended for localized prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the prostate gland.

During the surgery, Dr. Pandey employs nerve-sparing techniques to preserve the nerves responsible for erectile function. These specialized procedures aim to minimize the risk of erectile dysfunction post-surgery, although outcomes may vary depending on factors such as tumor size and location.

Despite advancements in surgical techniques, there are potential side effects associated with prostate cancer surgery. These include urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Dr. Pandey and his team strive to minimize these risks through careful surgical approaches.

Following surgery, patients undergo a period of recovery that typically involves a hospital stay followed by rest and rehabilitation. Dr. Pandey provides guidance for gradual return to normal activities during this time. Ongoing follow-up care is essential to monitor for cancer recurrence and manage any lingering side effects that may arise.
