da Vinci Prostatectomy (dVP)
Referred to by many as robotic surgery for prostate cancer or robotic
prostatectomy, da Vinci® Prostatectomy is more
accurately a robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery that is quickly
becoming the preferred treatment for removal of the prostate following
early diagnosis of prostate cancer. In fact, studies suggest that da
Vinci Prostatectomy may be the most effective, least
invasive prostate surgery performed today.1
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 da Vinci 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.
da Vinci Prostatectomy is performed with the assistance of
the da Vinci Surgical System – the
latest evolution in robotics technology. The da Vinci Surgical
System enables surgeons to operate with unmatched precision and control
using only a few small incisions. Recent studies suggest that da
Vinci Prostatectomy may offer improved cancer control and a faster
return to potency and continence.1 da Vinci 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
If you are a candidate for prostate surgery, talk to a surgeon who
performs da Vinci Prostatectomy.
