What is special about our Robotic Prostatectomy ?
We routinely offer Robotic Hemostatic Hydrodissection of the nerve bundles from the lateral sides of the prostate. We utilize a novel device called the ERBE Hemostatic Hydrodissector to allow for a unique nerve preservation to promote earlier return of continence and better preservation of erections. We also have a much lower positive margin rate when removing the prostate using this technique (less chance of leaving prostate cancer behind in the patient). The device is essentially a sophisticated water pick that allows us to gently lift the nerves off the prostate prior to prostate removal to better preserve these tissues. With the use of the new High Definition DaVinci Type S machine - this only allows even better visualization and magnification of the prostate edge and the nerves during the lateral dissection.
