For most men, the greatest anxiety following a prostate cancer diagnosis isn’t just the surgery itself—it is the fear of losing sexual intimacy. Because the nerves responsible for erectile function are microscopic and sit directly adjacent to the prostate, they are incredibly vulnerable during traditional surgery.
At the International Robotic Institute for Prostate Cancer, Dr. Sanjay Razdan utilizes a sophisticated, nerve-sparing approach that has made him a global destination for patients who refuse to compromise on their quality of life.
The “Cold-Cut” Precision of the da Vinci XI
In standard surgery, heat-generating tools (cautery) are often used to control bleeding. While effective, the heat from these tools can cause “thermal spread,” damaging the delicate cavernous nerves even if the surgeon doesn’t touch them directly.
Dr. Razdan employs a “Cold-Cut” Nerve-Sparing Technique. By utilizing the 10x magnification of the da Vinci XI robot, he is able to:
Identify Micro-Anatomy: Visualize the “neurovascular bundles” with high-definition clarity that the human eye cannot achieve alone.
Avoid Thermal Damage: Use cold instruments to meticulously separate the prostate from the nerves, ensuring the biological integrity of the erectile tissue remains intact.
Preserve Structural Support: Keep the surrounding ligaments and fascia strong, which provides the necessary “scaffolding” for the nerves to function correctly post-op.
Why This Technique Changes the Recovery Timeline
The “secret” to maintaining function isn’t just about avoiding nerve damage; it’s about active preservation. By combining nerve-sparing surgery with the MULP Technique and Human Amniotic Membrane, Dr. Razdan creates the optimal environment for what he calls “early functional recovery.”
While many centers tell patients to expect a 12-to-24-month wait for the return of potency, Dr. Razdan’s patients often see signs of recovery much sooner. This is due to the lack of trauma the nerves experience during his specialized robotic protocol.
A Concierge Approach for the International Patient
Men from the UK, Canada, and across the United States travel to Miami specifically for this level of precision. When a patient is flying in from out of state, they aren’t just looking for a surgeon—they are looking for a specialist who has mastered the art of the “nerve-sparing” procedure over the course of 10,000+ surgeries.
Dr. Razdan’s reputation as a Global Pioneer is built on these results: cancer control paired with the preservation of a man’s identity and confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is “nerve-sparing” always possible?
In the vast majority of cases, yes. Dr. Razdan evaluates every patient’s imaging and biopsy results to determine the safest path. His goal is always to spare the nerves on both sides (bilateral) whenever oncologically safe.
How soon will I know if my function is preserved?
Every man’s biology is different. However, by using “cold-cut” techniques and amniotic membrane, the “neurapraxia” (nerve stunning) that usually follows surgery is greatly minimized, leading to a faster return of function.
Does nerve-sparing surgery increase the risk of cancer returning?
No. Dr. Razdan’s high-volume experience allows him to find the “perfect plane” between the prostate and the nerves. This ensures the cancer is fully removed with negative margins while the nerves remain untouched.
What if my cancer is on both sides of the prostate?
Even in high-risk cases, Dr. Razdan’s expertise allows him to perform “interfascial” or “extrafascial” nerve-sparing, tailoring the degree of preservation to the specific location of the tumor.
