Traditional Radical
Prostatectomy
One of the most common treatments
for prostate cancer involves the
surgical removal of the prostate
gland, known as radical
prostatectomy. Traditional radical
prostatectomy requires a large, 8-10
inch incision. This open surgery
commonly results in substantial blood
loss, a lengthy and uncomfortable
recovery and the risk of impotence
and incontinence.

Robotic Radical Prostatectomy
Robotic Radical Prostatectomy incorporates
a state-of-the-art robotic surgical system
that helps your surgeon see vital anatomical
structures more clearly and to perform a
more precise surgical procedure.
For most patients, it offers substantially less
pain and a much shorter recovery than
traditional prostate surgery.
Moreover, recent studies suggest that it may
offer improved cancer control and a lower
incidence of impotence and urinary
incontinence.
