Robotic
Prostatectomy
Referred to by many as robotic surgery for prostate cancer,
this procedure 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.
Though any diagnosis of cancer can be traumatic, the good news is
that if your doctor recommends prostate surgery, the cancer was probably
caught early. And, with Mercy's robotic
prostatectomy,
the likelihood of a complete recovery from prostate cancer without
long-term side effects is, for most patients, better than it has ever
been.
Robotic prostatectomy is performed with the assistance of
the robotics technology. It enables Mercy surgeons to operate with
unmatched precision and control using only a few small incisions.
Robotic prostatectomy
also offers these potential benefits:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Fewer complications
- Less scarring
- A shorter hospital stay
- And a faster return to normal daily activities
