da Vinci® Prostatectomy is the #1 choice for treatment of localized prostate cancer in the United States, and is rapidly being chosen by more men, as well as their doctors, worldwide. da Vinci Prostatectomy is a minimally invasive, robotic-assisted surgical procedure that removes the cancerous prostate gland and related structures.
The potential benefits of the da Vinci Prostatectomy are:
Effective Cancer Control:
Studies have shown that experienced surgeons have achieved excellent results in removing prostate cancer without leaving cancer cells behind.
Improved and Early Return of Sexual Function: Studies have shown that most patients have a rapid return of sexual function.
Improved and Early Return of Continence:
Studies have shown that most patients have a rapid return of urinary continence.
Improved Results Over Traditional Treatments: Patients may benefit from surgical treatment of localized prostate cancer, the established gold standard, as compared to radiation. Surgery has a higher and longer survival rate than radiation or other treatments. Surgery also has a lower risk of long-term complications than radiation treatments.
Minimally Invasive Surgery:
The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision. Additional patient benefits may include:
Significantly less pain
Less blood loss
Less scarring
Shorter recovery time
A faster return to normal daily activities
Thanks to a breakthrough surgical technology, surgeons now widely offer a minimally invasive option for prostatectomy, the da Vinci Prostatectomy.
Imagine major surgery performed through the smallest of incisions. Imagine having the benefits of a definitive treatment but with the potential for significantly less pain, a shorter hospital stay, faster return to normal daily activities – as well as the potential for better clinical outcomes.
It is important to know that da Vinci Surgery does not place a robot at the controls; your surgeon is controlling every aspect of the surgery with the assistance of the da Vinci robotic platform.
