Robotic & Minimally Invasive Surgery Center Offers Innovative Laparoscopic and Robotic-Assisted Procedures
Surgeons at the Robotic & Minimally Invasive Surgery Center are using groundbreaking technologies for minimally invasive surgery. Our surgeons are qualified to treat:
Prostate cancer: We offer nerve-sparing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, a minimally invasive procedure involving the complete removal of the prostate in cases of localized prostate cancer. Traditional laparoscopic and open prostate removals are also available.
Kidney cancer: Robotic-assisted procedures are used for the complete removal of a cancerous kidney - nephrectomy and the removal of localized kidney tumors (nephron-sparing). These techniques include single-incision surgeries. Traditional laparoscopic and open procedures are also offered.
Urinary obstructions: We offer robotic-assisted surgery for complex urinary tract reconstruction. Procedures include pyeloplasty, a minimally invasive procedure to correct an obstruction in an area that connects the kidney to the ureter (tube that transports urine to the bladder). The alternative procedure typically involves a large, open incision. Laparoscopic and traditional open procedures are also offered
Bladder cancer: We use robotic surgery to remove the entire bladder when an invasive tumor is present – robotic-assited cystectomy. Open procedures are also available.
Adrenal gland tumors: We offer robotic-assisted surgery to remove adrenal glands – adrenalectomy when a tumor or malignancy is found. Traditional laparoscopy is also offered.
Pelvic organ prolapse: We are using robotic surgery to reconstruct and repair support for pelvic organs in women. We offer robotic-assoted procedures to remove the uterus (hysterectomy), repair vaginal prolapse -sacrocolpopexy and correct uterine prolapse following a hysterectomy -sacral uteropexy. Traditional laparoscopy and open surgery are also available.
Robotic-assisted surgery can be used for most patients who are candidates for open surgery. Patient preference, in addition to lifestyle and condition, can help determine the most appropriate surgical option.
