When medication and other non-surgical urologic treatments are either unavailable or cannot relieve symptoms, surgery is the accepted treatment for a broad range of conditions that affect the male reproductive organs and the organs of the urinary tract, including:

• Prostate Cancer
• Bladder Cancer
• Kidney Cancer
• Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction (UBJ) 
• Vesicoureteral Reflux

Traditional open urologic surgery - in which large incisions are made to access the pelvic organs - has been the standard approach when surgery is warranted. But many men are concerned about having significant post-surgical pain, a lengthy recovery and an unpredictable, potentially long-term impact on continence and sexual function.

Fortunately, less invasive surgical options are available to many patients facing urologic surgery. The most common of these is laparoscopy, which uses small incisions. While laparoscopy can be very effective for many routine urology procedures, limitations of this technology prevent its use for more complex urologic surgeries.

The da Vinci® Surgical System is being used by an increasing number of surgical urologists worldwide for prostatectomy and other urologic procedures. This minimally invasive approach, utilizing the latest in robotic surgery technology, is ideal for delicate urologic surgical procedures. This includes prostatectomy, in which the target site is not only tightly confined but also surrounded by nerves affecting urinary control and sexual function. Using the da Vinci Surgical System, your surgical urologist has a better tool to spare surrounding nerves, which may enhance both your recovery experience and clinical outcomes.
