Robotics best for non-prostate surgery, expert saysStates that conventional laparoscopic surgery may work better than robot-assisted surgery for non-prostate urological procedures. Increased surgical time w...
Dr. Samadi performs robotic prostate cancer surgery using the da Vinci robotic system. This minimally invasive procedure employs the latest advancements in robotics and computer technology to completely remove the cancerous prostate. It is a type of keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. During surgery, Dr....
Robotics has experienced great popularity for urologic surgery; particularly for cancers of the prostate. In the 11 years since the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first robotic surgical system for conducting abdominal and pelvic surgeries, its use has skyrocketed. The da Vinci Surgic...
ROBOTICSRADICAL prostatectomyPROSTATE biopsyOPERATIVE surgeryProstate cancer (PCa) surgery has a strong impact on men's social and sexual lives. For this reason, many patients ask for robotic surgery. To assess the rate of lost patients due to the lack of a robotic platform (RPl) at our ...
Is it surgery, then some form of radiation, or radiation and then surgery? If we look at this from a surgical perspective, initially, it turns out that many of the patients who might have a PSA [prostate-specific antigen, a protein associated with the presence of prostate cancer] rise, ...

, or keyhole, surgery is increasingly chosen by men having a cancerous prostate removed. And often it involves the highly marketed da Vinci robotics system. Da Vinci's popularity has been rising even though there's never been a rigorous head-to-head comparison between it and standard surgery....
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery replaces many open surgery procedures in urology due to its advantages concerning post-operative morbidity. However, the technical challenges and need of learning have limited the application of this method to the work of highly qualified surgeons. The introduct...
The surgery itself is an inpatient procedure, about two-three hours long, and requires at least 24 to 48 hours in the hospital afterwards. It is performed under general anesthesia, so you will be asleep through the whole procedure. With the advent of robotics, we perform the surgery with sm...
da Vinci Robotic Prostatectomy is the latest in minimally invasive surgery, offering the most recent advances in robotics and computer technology for a patient with prostate cancer. We prefer this method over all others because it has the most important advantages for you, the patient. Here are ...
