daVinci Robotic Surgery

With more patients choosing daVinci prostate surgery than any other treatment for prostate cancer, Robotic Prostate Surgery has become the latest in cutting edge treatment for prostate cancer. The operation entails removal of the prostate and seminal vesicles while selectively preserving the muscles and nerves that are responsible for urinary control and erectile function. The cancer removal rates, urinary control rates, and post-operative erectile function are equal to, and in some surgeon’s hands, better than reported outcomes for traditional open surgery. In addition, blood loss, need for blood transfusion, hospital stay, and return to full activity are all lessened when compared to open surgery.
