Can You Have Prostate Cancer Surgery Without Incontinence?

Rocky Mountain Urology Center proudly offers an innovative procedure that redefines what prostate cancer surgery can look like—more precise, less disruptive and centered on preserving the patient’s quality of life.

Retzius-sparing robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive, advanced surgical approach that offers effective prostate cancer treatment while supporting a quicker return of urinary continence.

“The goal isn’t just removing cancer, but preserving function,” says Urologist Scott Castle, MD, who performs the procedure at Rocky Mountain Urology Center.

Unlike traditional robotic prostatectomy, the Retzius-sparing technique approaches the prostate from behind the bladder, avoiding the area that plays a major role in continence.

For many patients, the result is faster recovery of bladder control—typically a couple weeks after surgery—and a smoother return to everyday life.

As with any treatment, Retzius-sparing prostatectomy won’t be the right choice for everyone, which is why Dr. Castle takes time to assess each patient’s priorities and overall health. Thorough discussions before treatment will ensure patients understand both the procedure’s benefits and any potential limitations.

Beyond precision, Dr. Castle is set apart by his commitment to personalized medicine. Combining cutting-edge technology with genuine partnership, he helps men face prostate cancer with confidence and clarity.

Patients with new prostate cancer diagnoses, and those seeking second opinions on robotic prostate surgery, can see Dr. Castle to help decide if Retzius-sparing robotic prostatectomy is the right treatment for them.
