What is robotic assisted prostatectomy?
Since 2003, City of Hope has been performing prostatectomy using the da VinciĀ® surgical system (DVP), allowing our physicians to take a giant leap forward in the treatment of prostate cancer. The robotic technique provides unparalleled surgical accuracy to significantly reduce blood loss and improve postoperative recovery. City of Hope performs more robotic assisted prostatectomies than any other medical center in the Western U.S and is second in the nation.
