Robotic Prostatectomy – Superior Outcomes
Highly advanced technology has led to the development of a revolutionary new form of prostate surgery, the robotic prostatectomy. Our robotic prostatectomy program is world renowned for its nerve sparing approach and we have consistently demonstrated superior outcomes with respect of cancer control, incontinence and impotence. View our da Vinci® surgery videos to learn more about robotic prostatectomy.
The Most Experienced Robotic Surgeon in the World
Dr. Vipul Patel serves as the Medical Director of the Global Robotic Institute. He has personally performed the most robotic prostatectomies in the world, and is one of only two surgeons to have performed 2,000 robotic procedures. He has utilized his skill and knowledge in this field to train and educate surgeons world wide. He is editor in chief of the Journal of Robotic Surgery and of the first robotic urology textbook. Prior to joining Florida Hospital, Dr. Patel practiced at the Ohio State University where he served as the Director of Robotic and Minimally Invasive Urologic Surgery.
Florida Hospital was an earlier adopter of the robotic prostatecomy. Click here to read more about the history of robotic surgery at Florida Hospital.
The da Vinci® robot allows our experienced surgeons to transfer their skills into a laparoscopic environment that employs highly precise instruments and magnified vision. This minimally invasive procedure is quickly gaining popularity as the most preferred cancer treatment for surgical removal of the prostate.
