If your doctor recommends surgery to treat your prostate
cancer, you may be a candidate for a new, less-invasive
surgical procedure called da Vinci® Prostatectomy.
This procedure incorporates a state-of-the-art surgical
system that helps your surgeon see vital anatomical
structures more clearly and to perform a more precise
surgical procedure.
For most patients, da Vinci® Prostatectomy offers
numerous potential benefits over open prostatectomy
including:
> Shorter hospital stay
> Less pain
> Less risk of infection
> Less blood loss and transfusions
> Less scarring
> Faster recovery
> Quicker return to normal activities
As with any surgical procedure, these benefits cannot
be guaranteed, as surgery is both patient- and procedure-specific.

went so well."

with a large incision 15 years ago and had to stay in
the hospital for four days. I had to be on heavy pain
meds and stayed at home for 6 weeks recuperating. After
my da Vinci operation, I was was able to walk around
the day of my surgery. I had minimal discomfort and
felt really good. Overall, my recovery went extremely
well. I would recommend this to anybody."

deal of thought and research, I chose da Vinci®

procedure, improved continence, shorter recovery time,
and less pain."

discomfort and have experienced minimal alteration in
my lifestyle. I am back at work and functioning normally."

considering radical prostatectomy."

making this great technology. My prostate procedure

any other way. I couldn't have had a better experience."
