Radical Prostatectomy

Radical Prostatectomy da Vinci Surgery

Radical prostatectomy Radical prostatectomy da Vinci surgery allows micro fine movement of robotic instruments that are controlled by Dr. Bianco via a console. These robots provide our doctors with the ability to have more control and precision during the prostate removal surgery than they would have during a traditional surgery done by hand. The robotic prostatectomy instruments prevent our doctors from having their hands shake during surgery. In addition, the robotic arms and hands can turn 360 degrees and project a high resolution, 3D magnified view for our surgeons to be able to have an extremely clear view of the surgical site during the procedure.

Radical prostatectomy da Vinci surgery is a more modern and precise version of the laparoscopic prostatectomy. This advanced surgical technique is one of the prostate cancer surgery options available at our Urology Specialists center. Robotic prostate removal surgery has many advantages over a traditional open prostatectomy. First during a da Vinci prostatectomy our surgeons can make much smaller surgical entry points. This allows for quicker recovery time and less blood loss. As a result, you will have less chance of infection and less pain.

Another advantage of the robotic prostate removal is that our radical prostatectomy surgeons can see your nerve bundles in great detail so that they can take out your prostate without damaging your nerves that control sexual function. This can also help to avoid urinary incontinence, or the inability to urinate properly. Although robotic radical prostatectomy surgery is minimally invasive, you will still be required to stay in the hospital for a day or two after the procedure in order for the anesthesia to wear off and give you time to recover enough to go home comfortably.

In addition, the miniaturized instruments include forceps, needles, scissors, scalpels, and electrocautery instruments that can rotate in a complete circle and move at all types of angles smoothly, something a human hand could not do. Our radical prostatectomy South Florida surgeons can also vary the amount of pressure used with these instruments, thus giving even more flexibility and freedom to perform the procedure accurately.

Robotic prostatectomy da Vinci surgery must be performed by an experienced and expertly trained physician. Dr Fernando J Bianco is one of the best Florida surgeons at our Urology Specialists practice. He is also the chief of Robotic Surgery at the Columbia University Division of Urology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach. He has performed many robotic surgeries and is the Ivy league da Vinci surgeon for South Florida. Knowing that you are being treated by one of the best radical prostatectomy U.S. surgeons can help relieve any nervousness or fear you have about the procedure.
