Who is a good candidate for this procedure?

Ideal candidates are men with localized prostate cancer (stage T1–T3) who have not yet undergone radiation or hormone therapy. Good surgical fitness and a life expectancy of at least 10 years are important. Contraindications include advanced metastatic disease, severe bleeding disorders, or prior major pelvic surgery that complicates access. Your urologic oncologist will confirm eligibility through imaging, biopsy results, and overall health assessment.
