Depends. Up to 7-10 days.
The hospital stay will vary depending on your body. It could be a little as 24-48 hrs or as long as 5 days. Urinating, having pain under control, and being able to eat are a few factors.
Good afternoon. The hospital stay after a Robotic Radical Prostatectomy is typically less than 24 hours. Some of my Patients go home the same day after 4-6 hours of recovery.
