Robotic Urologic Procedures
Robotic Urologic Procedures using the da Vinci® Surgical System
At Rose Medical Center in Denver, we offer the most advanced minimally invasive types of kidney and bladder surgeries available. The da Vinci® Robotic Surgery System allows specially trained doctors to operate miniaturized surgical instruments allowing for extremely precise movements. Our robotic surgeons perform several types of urologic procedures, including:
- Cystectomy (removal of all or part of the bladder)
- Nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy (removal of all or part of the kidney)
- Pyeloplasty (for urinary obstruction)
- Prostatectomy (removal of all or part of the prostate)
Robotic Surgery Advantages
The increased dexterity our surgeons experience through robot-assisted surgery, allows for better navigation around delicate areas of the male reproductive and urinary systems. Robotic surgery has many advantages over traditional or open surgery, including:
- Smaller incisions
- Less blood loss
- Less pain
- Reduced risk of infection
- Shorter hospital stays
- Quicker recovery
- Less scaring
- Better clinical outcomes, in many cases
Not all patients are candidates for robotic surgery. To find out if you may be a candidate for this revolutionary surgery, talk to your doctor.
