The Da Vinci prostatectomy is a localized solution that is minimally invasive: thanks to the breakthrough technology surgeons use, the intervention can be done through minor incisions.

Here are some of the characteristics of the da vinci prostatectomy:

  • minimally invasive
  • significantly less pain
  • shorter hospital stay
  • less impact on local anatomical structures, such as nerve fibers and blood vessels
  • lower rates of positive surgical margins (=less cancer cells left behind)
  • faster return to urinary continence (studies show)
  • lower rates of urinary pain compared to brachytherapy patients

Da Vinci is a surgical system controlled by a doctor and which allows for more precise incisions in case of prostatectomy.
