da Vinci® Prostatectomy
If you have prostate cancer, you may be a candidate for a new, less invasive approach to prostate removal called the da Vinci ® Prostatectomy. It is a major advancement in the treatment of prostate cancer, and offers many advantages over traditional radical retropubic prostatectomy. Robotic assisted prostate cancer surgery has redefined how laparoscopic prostate cancer surgery is performed.
This method incorporates the latest advancements in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery technology and allows a surgeon greater visualization, enhanced dexterity, precision, control and superior ergonomics.
For qualified prostate cancer patients, the da Vinci ® Prostatectomy offers numerous potential benefits over the traditional open prostatectomy, including:
• Shorter hospital stay
• Less pain
• Less risk of infection
• Less blood loss and transfusions
• Less scarring
• Faster recovery
• Quicker return to normal activities
The da Vinci ® Surgical System is powered by state-of-the-art robotic technology. The System allows your surgeon’s hand movements to be scaled, filtered and translated into precise movements of micro-instruments within the operative site. The magnified, three-dimensional view the surgeon experiences enables him to perform precise surgery in complex procedures through small surgical incisions.
The da Vinci ® System enhances surgical capabilities by enabling the performance of complex surgeries through tiny surgical openings. The System cannot be programmed nor can it make decisions on its own. The da Vinci ® System requires that every surgical maneuver be performed with direct input from your surgeon.
The da Vinci® Surgical System has been successfully used in thousands of prostate cancer procedures world-wide.
