One of the most
innovative forms of treatment for prostate cancer is robotic prostatectomy.
Robotic
Prostatectomy
Robotic surgery
for prostate cancer or robotic prostatectomy, is a robot-assisted,
minimally invasive surgery that is quickly becoming the preferred
treatment for removal of the prostate following early diagnosis
of prostate cancer. Urologist James Magera, MD, is currently providing
the minimally invasive, state-of-the-art procedure at Mercy Iowa
City, using the da Vinci Surgical System.
The
system enables surgeons to operate with unmatched precision and
control using only a few small incisions.
- Significantly
less pain
- Less blood
loss
- Less scarring
- A shorter
hospital stay
- And a faster
return to normal daily activities
Any diagnosis
of cancer can be traumatic. But if prostate cancer is caught early
and robotic surgery is performed, the likelihood of complete recovery
without long-term side effects is, for most patients, better than
it has ever been.
