“I couldn’t have had a better experience. I had my surgery done on Christmas Eve, went home on Sunday and walked a mile with my dogs on Tuesday. I wouldn’t have had the operation done any other way. My procedure was remarkable and I experienced absolutely no pain.”

da Vinci® Prostatectomy

You may also be a candidate for a new, less invasive approach to prostate removal called the da Vinci® Prostatectomy.

This method incorporates the latest advancements in robotic-assisted technology and allows a surgeon greater visualization, enhanced dexterity, precision, control and superior ergonomics.

For qualified candidates, the da Vinci® Prostatectomy offers numerous potential benefits over the traditional open prostatectomy, including:

> Shorter hospital stay
> Less pain
> Less risk of infection
> Less blood loss and transfusions
> Less scarring
> Faster recovery
> Quicker return to normal activities
