Robotic Prostatectomy using
the Davinci robotic system is considered by many
to be the new state of the art treatment for prostate
cancer. The system uses a 3-Dimensional computer
vision system to manipulate robotic arms. These
robotic arms are inserted via tiny incisions into
the body. The system provides for unparalleled
magnification and precision which are crucial
for preserving the delicate nerves and muscles
around the prostate. The operation provides multiple
benefits.

Improved Continence and Erectile
Function.
The main side effects of prostate surgery are a loss of erectile function and difficulty
with urinary control. In appropriate hands, these side effects can be mitigated with a
well performed robotic prostatectomy. Our data indicate and earlier return to urinary
control and improved erectile function which has been confirmed in several studies. We
employ advanced nerve sparing techniques to preserve erections and special urinary
recontruction sutures to aid urinary control. |
