daVinci robotic radical prostatectomy - our current technique and results

MUDr. Ivan Kolombo FEBU
Centrum robotické chirurgie a urologie Nemocnice Na Homolce, Praha

daVinci robotic radical prostatectomy is the most common urologic procedure in our Centre of robotic surgery in Hospital Na Homolce

Prague. We describe our current technique and evaluate our early experience with this novel robot-assisted laparoscopic technique for

radical prostatectomy that has been performed in patients with prostate cancer and with intent of curative treatment. The daVinci robotic

system makes it easier to move from open to laparoscopic technique. Minimally invasive robotic assisted technique enables to limit the

morbidity of open radical prostatectomy with shorter convalescence and safety for patients and shorter learning curve for surgeons.

Keywords: robotic surgery, daVinci robot, laparoscopy, minimally invasive surgery, oncological surgery, prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy.
