Prostate Robotic Surgery in Guadalajara

Radical prostatectomy

Surgery to treat prostate cancer is called radical prostatectomy. During this operation, the surgeon removes all the prostate and part of the surrounding tissue, including the seminal vesicles and the vas deferens, as well as the lymph nodes in the indicated cases. If the cancer is detected in time, a radical prostatectomy can be performed with preservation of the nerves responsible for the erection and urinary continence, which significantly reduces the typical side effects of urinary incontinence and sexual impotence.

The surgeon performs robotic prostate surgery in Guadalajara using the da Vinci robotic system. This minimally invasive procedure employs the latest advances in robotics and computer technology to remove the prostate and malignant tumor.

How does the technology of a Da Vinci Surgical Robot works?

Prostate Robotic Surgery with Da Vinci integrates the best techniques of traditional surgery and applies them to a minimally invasive and robotic approach. In a radical prostatectomy, the surgeon, makes small incisions (0.8-1.2 cm) in the skin, inserting special instruments to remove the prostate from an external movement, from a console and guided by a system of stereoscopic and high resolution 3D images. One of the instruments has a small video camera at its tip, which allows the surgeon to observe inside the abdominal cavity, allowing the vital structures to be manipulated in a more precise and fine way, obtaining better results.

When should you have the first tests to detect prostate cancer?

At age 50 for men at average risk of prostate cancer and expected to live at least 10 more years.

At the age of 45 years in men at high risk (first-degree relatives, grandparents, parents or siblings with a history of prostate cancer).
