Read more about the da Vinci prostatectomy
Robotic-assisted prostatectomy is a minimally invasive surgery that is becoming a preferred treatment for removal of the prostate following early diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Though any diagnosis of cancer can be traumatic, the good news is that if your doctor recommends prostate surgery, the cancer was probably caught early. And, with da Vinci prostatectomy, the likelihood of a complete recovery from prostate cancer without long-term side effects is, for most patients, better than it has ever been.
Recent studies suggest that da Vinci prostatectomy may offer improved cancer control and a faster return to potency and continence. The procedure also can offer these benefits:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Fewer complications
- Less scarring
- A shorter hospital stay
- And a faster return to normal daily activities
