Any patient newly diagnosed with localized prostate cancer, may be a candidate for robotic radical prostate surgery. Attributes of the daVinci(tm) Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical Incorporated, Sunnyvale, CA) allows your robotic-trained surgeon to visualize complex and vital structures in the pelvis. This allows for a more precise and less invasive surgical procedure which spares crucial structures in order to offer patients a greater chance at functional recovery after surgery.
