Robotic Partial Nephrectomy
Fortunately, this surgery can now be performed robotically. Robotic partial nephrectomy, using the da Vinci® Surgical System, enables your doctor to perform a minimally invasive surgery with enhanced vision, precision, dexterity and control. The da Vinci Surgical System uses state-of-the-art technology to help your doctor provide several potential benefits to patients facing kidney surgery, including:
Robotic Cystectomy
A cystectomy is the removal of all or part of the bladder and possibly the removal of nearby lymph nodes and organs that may contain cancer. If the bladder is removed, the surgeon creates a new way or path for urine to be stored and to leave the body.
Robotic Urology
All surgeries carry risk, but traditional open surgery with a large incision has significant drawbacks, including pain, trauma, a long recovery and risk of infection. Fortunately, less invasive surgical options are often available. If you need surgery to treat your urological condition, you may be a candidate for da Vinci® Surgery, which is a safe, effective and minimally invasive procedure.
Patient Information
To help prepare you and your physician for your upcoming appointment, the urology services physicians have developed a comprehensive series of forms and questionnaires to fill out prior to your visit. The staff of the Urology Services Department will indicate which forms you should fill out and bring to your appointment, prior to your visit.
Robotic Prostatectomy
What is Robotic Prostatectomy?
This revolutionary and advanced prostate cancer surgery and prostate cancer treatment method profoundly reduces blood loss, pain, recovery time, and the familiar unwanted side effects of other treatments like incontinence and sexual dysfunction. For this reason, robotic-assisted prostate cancer surgery is sometimes called bloodless prostate surgery.
