• Recent statistics by The American Cancer Society
  reveals, Prostate cancer is the second common
  cancer in the United States. And each year more
  than 200,000 men are affected by this disease.

3

• Whatever the stage of cancer, there are many
  surgical treatment options available to help
  patients cope with the cancer and to overcome it.
  Among them, the da Vinci Robotic Surgery offers
  a less invasive surgical option to many patients
  facing urologic surgery.

4

• Surgeons have used da Vinci Robotic surgical
  system successfully in approximately 1.5 million
  various surgical procedures to date.

5

• Robotic-assisted surgery uses a 3D highly
  magnified camera allowing a better view of the
  area being operated on. The robot minimizes the
  doctors movements which leads to the surgery
  becoming more precise with smaller incisions.

6

• Compared to other traditional surgical
  procedures, the da Vinci robotic system offers
  several advantages, a few are discussed below.

7

• Better Accuracy, Flexibility and Control
• Surgical robots are self-powered,
  computer-controlled devices that can be
  programmed to assist in the positioning and
  function of surgical instruments. This provides
  surgeons to perform urological surgery with
  better accuracy, flexibility and control.

8

• Clinically Superior Results
• The robotic surgical system allows the surgeon to
  avoid damaging/cutting healthy prostate tissue,
  which improves superior results and thus minimize
  scar tissue build up.

9

• Quicker Recovery Period
• The robotic surgical system utilizes less
  invasive techniques requiring 4 to 5 small
  incisions, each less than two inches. These
  smaller incisions will heal significantly faster
  than the large incisions needed in traditional
  surgery.
