What happens during a robotic-assisted surgery?
The surgeon starts by making a series of small incisions in the abdomen and guiding the instruments through the incisions. The surgeon sits at the console and guides the micro-instruments to detach the prostate as cleanly as possible. The prostate is then removed through a small incision and the bladder is reattached to the urine channel. A surgical assistant and physician are at the patient’s side the entire time.
