Hi - I have been offered surgery for localised prostate cancer - and would welcome advice on whether to opt for open surgery (6 weeks wait) or Da Vinci robotic surgery (4 month wait). Thanks for your help.

Hi Jools and welcome to Cancer Chat.
We have some information on our website about Robotic surgery for prostate cancer which I've linked for you as well as some information about the standard open operation which you can read about here.
If you'd like to talk through the information and any of your questions, queries or concerns with our team of nurses then they are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040 (free to call).
best wishes,
Jenn
