Recent analyses have shown that da Vinci robotic surgery achieves a 99% reliability rate, with technical issues rarely ...

The tissue damage, anatomical distortion, and lack of surgical landmarks caused by the primary treatment present major challenges to surgeons performing salvage RARP.

Robotic prostatectomy should really be thought of as fancy laparoscopy because it's really the same principle. During robotic surgery, portals again are placed through the abdomen and the belly is ...

At 24 months' follow-up, the only phase 3 randomized clinical trial to directly compare functional and oncologic outcomes between robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy and open radical ...

In the two decades since the first robotic surgery was performed in Australia, both the computers that drive them and the ...

The decision to undergo radical prostatectomy, or any treatment for prostate cancer, is of course not an easy one. Dr. Andrew Wagner, Director of Minimally-Invasive Urologic Surgery at Beth Israel ...

3. Robotic prostatectomy. The newest form of prostatectomy, the robotic approach only begun in 2001. This is a form of laparoscopy where a robot is attached to the long laparoscopic instruments.

Radical retropubic prostatectomy. Before the surgery, you’ll get medicine called anesthesia either to help you “sleep” or to numb the lower half of your body.

The 30-day readmission rate was 3.6% for radical prostatectomy, 20.7% for radical cystectomy, and 7.5% for partial or radical nephrectomy. The 30-day mortality rate, unrelated to the procedure ...
