The da Vinci Surgical System enables surgeons to perform a radical prostatectomy using minimally invasive techniques. The robotic system enhances the surgeon’s range of motion, precision and dexterity – all crucial in the complex anatomy surrounding the prostate gland. The operation is performed through five incisions no wider than a dime. Your surgeon inserts a pencil-size binocular telescope into an incision to provide magnified, 3-dimensional images of the surgical site.

The da Vinci Surgical System enables surgeons to perform three types of robotic nephrectomies: partial, simple and radical. A partial, robotic nephrectomy is a procedure to remove a small tumor from the kidney, without removing the entire kidney. A simple, robotic nephrectomy is the total removal of a kidney when it becomes a chronic problem or loses its function. A radical, robotic nephrectomy is the removal of the kidney with all the surrounding fat, fascia and the adrenal gland.

Bladder cancer is typically diagnosed using a combination of urine tests, specialized x-rays and cystoscopy with biopsy. Treatment is determined by the type and developmental stage of the cancer. The robotic cystectomy is a minimally invasive bladder surgery for the treatment of invasive cancer.
