What is robotic prostatectomy and when is it used for prostate cancer?
A. Robotic prostatectomy is the newest and most advanced surgical option for qualified patients. In this minimally invasive procedure, surgeons use the latest robotic-assisted technology to remove cancerous tissue and at the same time spare nerves surrounding the prostate that control bladder and potency. If your doctor recommends surgery to treat your prostate cancer, you may be a candidate for robotic prostatectomy.
