We have been told that robotic surgery uses excessive cautery around the neurovascular bundles and that this may damage the bundles. How does this affect potency results?
While we do use thermal cautery at other steps of the operation, we do not use it around the neurovascular bundles. Many patients undergo the “Veil of Aphrodite” nerve sparing, which offers added protection to the nerves. This has resulted in earlier return of and better quality erections in many patients. Please ask us if you are a candidate for this type of surgery. Q: Will I need to donate my own blood to have on hand during surgery if the need for a transfusion arises? A: No. One of the many benefits of the VIP is minimal loss of blood. Therefore, it is not necessary to have your blood available for transfusion.
