Recent statistics by The American Cancer Society reveals, “Prostate cancer is<br />
the second common cancer <strong>in</strong> the United States. <strong>An</strong>d each year more than<br />
200,000 men are affected by this disease”.
Whatever the stage of cancer, there are many surgical treatment options<br />
available to help patients cope with the cancer and to overcome it. Among<br />
them, the “da V<strong>in</strong>ci Robotic <strong>Surgery</strong>” offers a less <strong>in</strong>vasive surgical option to<br />
many patients fac<strong>in</strong>g urologic surgery.
Surgeons have used da V<strong>in</strong>ci Robotic surgical system successfully <strong>in</strong><br />
approximately 1.5 million various surgical procedures to date.
Robotic-assisted surgery uses a 3D highly magnified camera allow<strong>in</strong>g a<br />
better view of the area be<strong>in</strong>g operated on. The robot m<strong>in</strong>imizes the<br />
doctor’s movements which leads to the surgery becom<strong>in</strong>g more precise<br />
with smaller <strong>in</strong>cisions.
Compared to other traditional surgical procedures, the da V<strong>in</strong>ci robotic<br />
system offers several advantages, a few are discussed below.
Better Accuracy, Flexibility and Control<br />
Surgical robots are self-powered, computer-controlled devices that can be<br />
programmed to assist <strong>in</strong> the position<strong>in</strong>g and function of surgical<br />
<strong>in</strong>struments. This provides surgeons to per<strong>for</strong>m urological surgery with<br />
better accuracy, flexibility and control.
Cl<strong>in</strong>ically Superior Results<br />
The robotic surgical system allows the surgeon to avoid damag<strong>in</strong>g/cutt<strong>in</strong>g<br />
healthy prostate tissue, which improves superior results and thus m<strong>in</strong>imize<br />
scar tissue build up.
Quicker Recovery Period<br />
The robotic surgical system utilizes less <strong>in</strong>vasive techniques requir<strong>in</strong>g 4 to 5<br />
small <strong>in</strong>cisions, each less than two <strong>in</strong>ches. These smaller <strong>in</strong>cisions will heal<br />
significantly faster than the large <strong>in</strong>cisions needed <strong>in</strong> traditional surgery.
Kansas City Urology Care offers state-of-the-art treatments <strong>in</strong><br />
a modern facility, so you can get <strong>in</strong> and out quickly, <strong>in</strong> a sett<strong>in</strong>g<br />
that’s relax<strong>in</strong>g and less stressful than a hospital.<br />
