Da Vinci Robot

It is the most precise surgical tool for prostate surgery.

A robot does not operate on him. An experienced surgeon intervenes with a tool that allows us to perform all the steps of prostate surgery with extreme precision. Firstly, it has a high-definition 3D endoscopic camera, which allows us to visualize the prostate gland and all its structures, highlighting the surgical planes (where the surgeon must cut); perfect vision is the basis of the best surgery. Secondly, maneuverability. The arms not only cancel the usual tremor of any surgeon, but also allow 360º movements and in positions impossible for the human wrist.

All of the above allows for a precise and elegant surgery, minimizing damage to the muscles and nerves responsible for urinary continence and erection; a really important advantage, since it is more complicated with open procedures or traditional laparoscopy.

In Europe and the United States, most prostate tumor surgeries are performed with the Da Vinci Robot.

The Da Vinci robot in other specialties

Although its main specialty is urology (prostatectomy, nephrectomies, pyeloplasties and cystectomies). It is also used in numerous surgical specialties such as digestive surgery, gynecology, thoracic surgery, cardiac surgery, pediatric surgery and otorhinolaryngology.

Robot intervention allows for safer surgery with less traumatic interventions, fewer incisions, less bleeding, less pain, and faster return to normal life.

Advantages of the Da Vinci Robot in prostate surgery

If the surgeon is more precise, the patient will have greater benefit

  • SAFER. The risks of conventional open surgeries and possible human errors are minimized thanks to the security systems implemented in the processor.
  • LESS INVASIVE. By making small incisions through which the Robot's surgical arms act, fewer postoperative complications, less pain, less scarring and less bleeding occur.
  • BETTER RECOVERY. As it is a minimally invasive intervention, the recovery is faster and the hospital stay is shorter than when an open Radical Prostatectomy is performed.
  • MORE PRECISE. In addition to facilitating intervention in areas that are difficult for the surgeon to access, the high magnification capacity provided by the console provides perfect visibility in three dimensions so that the surgeon can make incisions in microsurgery, something almost impossible in laparoscopic or open surgeries.
  • FASTER. Hospital admission time is reduced. The patient can leave the hospital 4-5 days after the intervention compared to 10 days after admission for conventional operations.
  • BETTER PROGNOSIS IN THE PRESERVATION OF ERECTILE POWER AND URINARY CONTINENCE. The preservation rate of urinary continence is greater than 90%, as long as the situation of the prostate allows it, while the recovery of the erection is also preserved in a large number of occasions, as long as the nerves responsible for continence can be preserved. the erection and the patient's previous situation are ideal.
