PROSTATE SURGERY
The da Vinci Robot: Advanced Surgery for Prostate Cancer
The da Vinci Xi is the most advanced surgery available for robotic prostatectomies, and we use it in all our operations to give our patients the best results possible.
Developed by Intuitive Surgical in California, the da Vinci Xi robotic surgical system allows a skilled surgeon to make even more precise movements than usual with a wider range of rotating hand motion than if the operation were performed manually. Powerful cameras are coupled with 3D vision to give clearer internal visibility during the operation so your surgeon can operate at the peak of his ability.
What does the da Vinci radical prostatectomy involve?
The Da Vinci Surgical System is an innovative robotic tool that enables surgeons to perform prostate surgery with enhanced precision, control, and visualisation. This advanced system is designed for minimally invasive procedures, making it a leading choice for prostate cancer treatment.
During the procedure, your surgeon operates the robotic system from a console, using it to perform surgery through a few tiny incisions. The console provides your surgeon with a high-definition view and precise control of the instruments, helping to achieve optimal surgical outcomes.
This translates into a number of benefits for patients, including:
High success rate in cancer removal:
the control delivered by the da Vinci robot ensures precise removal of cancerous tissue, allowing your surgeon to remove it altogether.
Preservation of sexual
function:
with the precision and stability of the robotic hand, damage to important nerves that control sexual function and potency can be avoided.
Faster recovery
time:
minimally invasive techniques with high-definition cameras means that your body can recover more quickly.
Reduced risk of complications:
enhanced precision and stability reduce the chance of bleeding, infection, and other surgical complications.
Minimal scarring:
smaller incisions lead to less visible scarring, improving aesthetic outcomes and minimising post-operative discomfort.
Improved urinary continence:
advanced robotic control helps preserve the delicate structures around the bladder, assisting faster recovery of urinary control.
