da Vinci® Robotic Surgery
We were one of the first medical centers in Virginia to offer the da
Vinci robotic prostatectomy for treatment of prostate cancer.
This
procedure involves the use of a miniature camera and robotic “hands”
that are inserted into the body through a series of tiny incisions.
These tools ensure steadiness and precision, allowing the surgeon to
see and avoid damage to nearby nerves and muscles that control
continence and potency.
Typical outcomes include reduced blood loss and
post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays and less likelihood of
side effects like impotence, incontinence and infection.
