Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy in India

Cost of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in India

Publicly listed package prices range from $1,690 to $6,500 across 2 sources (latest retrieved 2026-10-23). The final figure depends on the hospital, room category, implants and length of stay; every quote we send is in writing from the hospital.

The surgeon fills the abdomen or the space in front of the bladder with gas and works through five or so small ports. A high-definition camera gives a magnified view of the pelvis.

Laparoscopic prostatectomy needs advanced skills, especially for stitching the bladder to the urethra with straight instruments. Where robotic systems are not available or affordable, it offers a keyhole option.

How this approach differs

Compared with open surgery, laparoscopy uses small ports and a magnified camera view, which generally reduces blood loss, pain and hospital stay. Unlike robotic surgery, instruments are straight and handheld, which makes fine suturing harder and depends heavily on surgeon experience. Cancer control outcomes are broadly similar between experienced hands in all approaches. It may be a lower-cost keyhole option where robotic surgery is unavailable.

Who needs laparoscopic radical prostatectomy

• Localised prostate cancer in men suitable for surgery
• Men wanting keyhole surgery where robotic access is limited
• Patients with moderate prostate size
• Men without extensive previous pelvic surgery
• Patients fit for prolonged head-down positioning

How it is done

1. General anaesthesia is given and gas inflates the working space.
2. Small ports are placed in the lower abdomen.
3. The prostate is freed from the bladder, rectum and nerves.
4. The prostate and seminal vesicles are removed in a bag.
5. The bladder is stitched to the urethra laparoscopically.
6. Lymph nodes may be removed and a catheter placed.
