Robot Assisted Prostate Surgery

Robotic instruments are inserted through several small abdominal incisions and controlled by a surgeon. The robot gives the surgeon much more dexterity than conventional laparoscopy while offering the same advantages over open prostatectomy including much smaller incisions, less pain, less bleeding, less risk of infection, faster healing time, and shorter hospital stay.
