Robotic Prostatectomy
The Next Generation of Prostate Cancer Surgery
There's no substitute for training and experience. Dr. Naeem Rahman has performed over 100 robotic prostatectomies.
Robotic prostatectomy, or da Vinci ® Prostatectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical technique that provides a safe and effective way to remove the prostate gland following early diagnosis of prostate cancer.
The operation is performed with the assistance of the da Vinci ® Surgical System and fine laparoscopic instrumentation. The da Vinci ® Surgical System enables surgeons to operate with unmatched precision and control using only a few small incisions across the mid-abdomen. In contrast to the conventional, open radical prostatectomy, da Vinci ® Prostatectomy offers these potential benefits:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Fewer complications
- Less scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
- Faster return to normal daily activities
- Earlier return of urinary control and improved sexual function
