San Donato Hospital
From $24,000. The final price depends on the surgical technique used, the clinic's location, and the length of hospital stay. Patients save around 20% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $30,000 on average. Standard Italian healthcare packages generally include the surgical procedure, anesthesia, medical team fees, and several days of hospitalization.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing specialized centers in Rome or Milan offers superior value for robotic surgery. Ospedale San Carlo di Nancy was recognized as a top clinic for Da Vinci procedures. It offers structured packages starting around $30,600 that include four nights of stay. For complex cases, San Raffaele in Milan provides access to three robotic systems. Experts like Francesco Montorsi have performed over 8,000 urological surgeries there.

When considering Prostatectomy, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:
This minimally invasive procedure uses robotic technology to remove the prostate gland, primarily for prostate cancer treatment.
This prostate surgery involves removing parts of the prostate gland to treat urinary problems due to an enlarged prostate.
It is a minimally invasive procedure for removing the prostate gland, often used in prostate cancer treatment.
Italian clinics offer advanced surgical techniques for prostate removal, specializing in minimally invasive robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy using the da Vinci system. Surgeons also perform holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP), transurethral resection (TURP), and traditional open or laparoscopic procedures to treat cancer and benign conditions.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Milan serves as a major hub for robotic excellence. San Raffaele operates 3 da Vinci robots, while Ospedale San Carlo di Nancy in Rome holds specialized awards for robotic prostate cancer surgery. Choosing these high-capacity centers ensures access to specialists like Professor Francesco Montorsi, who has authored over 1,000 scientific papers.
Patient Consensus: While robotic surgery is the modern standard, the surgeon's skill at the console matters more than the device itself. Patients should discuss previous abdominal surgeries, such as hernia repairs, as these can impact surgical access.
Prostatectomy in Italy typically requires a 1 to 3 night hospital stay depending on the surgical approach. Patients usually return home with a urinary catheter for 7 to 12 days. Initial recovery takes 1 to 2 weeks, while full internal healing requires up to 4 months.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While many European centers require 3 nights, leading Milanese clinics like San Raffaele utilize 3 da Vinci robots to prioritize efficiency. Our data shows high-volume Italian centers often achieve discharge within 1 night for robotic cases. This faster mobilization helps lower the risk of post-operative complications.
Patient Consensus: Prepare loose clothing and a pillow for the car ride home to manage post-surgical discomfort. Using stool softeners is helpful for managing common side effects of pain medication during the first week.
Milan and Rome are Italy's primary medical hubs for robotic prostate surgery. Milan houses the San Raffaele hospital, while Rome features the specialized Ospedale San Carlo di Nancy. These centers utilize the da Vinci Xi system for nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy to improve functional recovery.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Surgeon experience at Italian hubs often exceeds general standards. Professor Francesco Montorsi at San Raffaele has performed over 8,000 surgeries. Choosing centers where doctors have this volume of cases is the best way to ensure better continence outcomes.
Patient Consensus: Focus on the personal case volume of the surgeon rather than just the clinic reputation. Robotic surgery usually leads to less blood loss, but you should always ask about nerve-sparing success rates.
