Concierge Prostate Cancer Care: Flying in for the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery
When facing a prostate cancer diagnosis, many men want to ensure they receive the best possible care, even if it means traveling. For patients seeking a highly experienced urologic oncologist, Miami has become a global destination for specialized treatment. At the International Robotic Prostatectomy Institute, Dr. Sanjay Razdan offers world-class, concierge prostate cancer care for out-of-state and international patients.
Why Patients Travel to Miami for da Vinci Robotic Surgery
In complex surgeries like a radical prostatectomy, volume matters. Dr. Sanjay Razdan is one of the most experienced robotic prostate cancer surgeons in the world, having performed over 10,000 successful procedures. This level of experience allows for exceptional anatomical precision, which translates directly into better long-term quality of life.
Patients choose to travel for Dr. Razdan’s advanced techniques:
- The “Biological Wrap”: Dr. Razdan was the first surgeon in the world to pioneer the use of the human amniotic membrane to dramatically accelerate the return of erectile function after surgery.
- Maximum Urethral Length Preservation (MULP): This technique, pioneered by Dr. Razdan, ensures the maximum possible length of the urethra is preserved, allowing the vast majority of patients to regain urinary continence almost immediately.
- Streamlined da Vinci Platform: Utilizing the state-of-the-art da Vinci system ensures minimal blood loss, fewer complications, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
The White-Glove Concierge Experience
Traveling for major surgery can be daunting, but Dr. Razdan’s team makes the process seamless and stress-free.
- Digital Consultation & Review: You do not need to fly to Miami just to discuss your options. Dr. Razdan’s team performs comprehensive reviews of your biopsies, MRI scans, and history via telehealth or digital file transfer before you book your trip.
- Personalized Logistics Support: The team assists with the coordination of your medical records and can provide guidance on local, luxury accommodations suited for a relaxing and comfortable recovery.
- Rapid Recovery Protocol: Because of Dr. Razdan’s surgical finesse, over 99% of patients leave the surgical center or hospital within 24 hours (with many discharged in just 4–6 hours).
The Travel and Recovery Timeline
Most out-of-state and international patients should plan a visit to Miami for about 7 to 10 days. Here is the typical timeline for your surgical journey:
- Day 1: Arrival & Pre-Op: Meet Dr. Razdan in person to review the surgical plan, discuss post-operative care, and finalize testing.
- Day 2: The Procedure: Surgery typically takes under 90 minutes. You will recover in a comfortable, private suite.
- Days 3–7: Recovery in Miami: You are encouraged to walk and rest in a beautiful, sunny Miami setting.
- Day 8: Catheter Removal: Return to the office to have your catheter removed, after which most patients are cleared to fly home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I travel by air after robotic prostate surgery?
Yes. Once Dr. Razdan removes the catheter (usually 7 to 8 days post-op), you are cleared for commercial air travel. We recommend booking an aisle seat so you can stand and stretch occasionally.
Will my primary care physician or local urologist be involved?
Absolutely. Dr. Razdan’s office coordinates directly with your home physician by sharing all pathology and surgical reports so your long-term follow-up is seamless.
How do I start the process?
You can start by contacting the International Robotic Prostatectomy Institute directly to set up a digital records review with the team.
