Investigations revealed prostate cancer as well as a supernumerary right kidney and an atrophic horseshoe left kidney draining into the left seminal vesicle. He was managed with robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) using a modified technique. Selective pre-operative investigations and patient...

The Krongrad Institute, a VIP practice and center of excellence in minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery. America's longest running program for laparoscopic prostate surgery.
Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (RALP) This is one of the most common surgeries performed to treat prostate cancer. In this procedure, the surgeon will make five small incisions in the lower abdomen to access and remove the prostate. Retropubic Open Radical Prostatectomy In this...
Herein, we will review the available literature data about robotic surgery in prostate cancer concentrating mainly on the evolution and adaptation of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), its perioperative/functional/oncological outcomes, results of comparative studies with open/laparoscopic RP, and...
At Austin Urology Institute, we utilize a comprehensive prostate cancer program to ensure that our patients and family are well educated in the Laparoscopic Robotic da Vinci Prostatectomy Care Pathway to ensure optimum expectations and outcomes. ...
Depending on the man's age and the amount of surgery needed to remove all the cancer, nerve-sparing operations allow many men who were able to get erections before surgery to be able to do so after surgery without the need for erectile dysfunction treatments. Laparoscopic robotic prostatectomy...
The first robotic-assisted surgery performed in 1995 utilized a robotic platform to eliminate the need for an assistant to hold the camera during laparoscopic procedures. The more contemporary da Vinci system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA) represents the next evolutionary step. This system provide...
Dr. Menon, director of Henry Ford's Vattikuti Urology Institute, perfected the technique for minimally invasive laparoscopic treatment of prostate cancer. Because they were among the first surgeons in the world to use the technique, Dr. Menon and his team had a unique opportunity to test its ...
Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy Your surgeon makes small incisions in your belly as in regular laparoscopic prostatectomy. Then they control an advanced robotic system of surgical tools from outside your body. A high-tech interface lets the surgeon use natural wrist movements and a 3D scree...
