Urology Robotic Surgery
Urologic surgery refers to surgery performed on the male and female urinary tract organs and male reproductive organs. Urologic surgery is performed for cancer as well as a range of non-cancerous (benign) urologic conditions. All surgeries carry risk, but traditional open surgery with a large incision has significant drawbacks – pain, trauma, a long recovery and risk of infection.
If you need surgery to treat your urologic condition, you may be a candidate for robotic Surgery — a safe, effective and minimally invasive procedure. Using the most advanced technology available today, the da Vinci® Surgical System allows your doctor to perform delicate and complex operations through a few tiny incisions with increased vision, precision, dexterity and control.
Minimally invasive da Vinci Surgery is used for, among other things, the following urologic procedures:
- Surgery for Prostate Cancer
- Surgery for Kidney Cancer
- Surgery for Kidney Disorders
- Surgery for Bladder Cancer
- Surgery for Urinary Obstruction

One of the best ways to truly understand a da Vinci Surgery experience is to hear directly from patients, in their own words.

We hope this information is helpful as you make your decision about which treatment option is right for you.
