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.
