Your full recovery means not only defeating your prostate cancer, but resuming your normal, active life as quickly as possible. When compared to results from traditional, or open, prostatectomy procedures, a robotic-assisted prostatectomy can get you there faster.
Surgeons have applied robotic systems, like the da Vinci robot your surgical team will use, in tens of thousands of successful surgeries in the U.S. and around the world, with positive results, including:
- Shorter hospital stays
- Quicker recovery times
- Potential for improved cancer control
- Less pain and discomfort
- Reduced catheter time
- Small incisions
- Minimal scarring
- Equal or lower rates of urinary incontinence
- Equal or lower rates of erectile dysfunction
