Robotic-Assisted Da Vinci Surgery for Prostate Cancer
Robotic-assisted surgery using the Da Vinci system represents a major advancement in the treatment of prostate cancer. This minimally invasive technology enables highly complex procedures to be performed with exceptional precision, control, and safety.
The Da Vinci system is equipped with multiple robotic arms and a high-definition 3D camera that provides a magnified and detailed view of the surgical field. By controlling the instruments from a dedicated console, the surgeon can perform extremely fine and precise movements that are not achievable with conventional manual techniques.
Treatment Approach
- Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy
- Simultaneous removal of affected lymph nodes, when indicated
- Postoperative monitoring and prevention of complications
Robotic-Assisted Prostatectomy
In the management of prostate cancer, robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (complete removal of the prostate gland) is one of the preferred surgical options. Compared with conventional open or laparoscopic surgery, this technique offers several advantages:
- reduced blood loss
- less postoperative pain
- faster recovery
- high precision of tumor resection
- improved preservation of critical anatomical structures, including nerves and blood vessels responsible for erectile function and urinary continence
