~*~Live Webcast: da Vinci Robotic Prostatectomy~*~
Da Vinci Robotic Prostatectomy surgery is gaining popularity as a less traumatic and minimally invasive alternative for treating and removing prostate cancer. The most famous robotic prostatectomy system available today is the da Vinci Robot manufactured by Intuitive Surgical. The da Vinci robotic system enables surgeons to overcome many of the shortcomings of both open prostatectomy and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
Unlike laparoscopic surgery, da Vinci Robotic Prostatectomy instruments can turn in all directions with 90 degrees of articulation and 7 degrees of freedom. The da Vinci system provides the surgeon with improved visualization, dexterity, and precision compared with open or laparoscopic surgery, while enabling operation through 1-2 cm incisions.
