ROBOTIC CYSTECTOMY
The robotic cystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical method for the treatment of advanced bladder cancer. The use of the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System offers bladder cancer patients an effective procedure with smaller incisions and less problematic post-surgical outcomes when compared to open surgery, including less blood loss and lower transfusion rates. The magnification offered by the robotic system grants our surgeons better precision during the procedure, thus, sparing vital delicate nerves and muscle tissue. The use of the da Vinci robot also provides our surgeons with more surgical dexterity during bladder removal and urinary tract reconstruction. With robotic cystectomy, our patients have had excellent cancer cure rates, as well as comfort and overall satisfaction.
The benefits of robotic cystectomy
• Spares vital muscle and delicate nerve tissue
• Shorter hospital stay
• Faster return to normal activity
• Minimal blood loss
• Minimized chances of post-operative incontinence or impotence
• Minimized chances of complications commonly associated with cystectomy
• Minimal post-operative pain
